February 24, 2024  2pm - 3pm WAT

an online event - Cameroon Youth at the crossroads of crisis, Roles and perspectives of Cameroonian Diaspora youth

February is youth month in Cameroon. Over 70 percent of Cameroons population is below the age of 35. As in most African countries, the youth in Cameroon sit on the crossroads of crisis: from pressure to violent extremism with the political conflicts, to irregular migration patterns to the world etc. In special tribute to the many young people of Cameroon who work towards reconciling peace and fighting hate speech, our diaspora dialogue this month shall focus on young people too.

We shall specially consider the special role of Cameroon based outside Cameroon; their perspectives on transforming the conflict in Cameroon and the particular roles young people play.

Cameroon Diaspora Dialogues Discussion - #defyhatenow

September 23, 2023  3pm - 5pm CEST

an online event: register here

The topic of the panel discussion shall focus on the theme ‘Conflict transformation in Cameroon, Possibilities and Potentials within the Diaspora’. 

Given the strong correlation that exists between actions, declarations, and speeches of some renowned Cameroonian activists based abroad, the Cameroonian diaspora has been identified as a probable conflict influencer. Social media is one of the means through which the diaspora exerts influence and opinions (positive & negative) on the conflict back home.

CRUSHING THE HATE CURVE –
How peace technologies counter violent extremism online

November  7th, 2022 6:00 - 8pm

the #defyhatenow initiative to counter social media hate speech and online incitement to violence was born in reaction to the sudden explosion of violent conflict in South Sudan at the end of 2013. When the relationship between social media and incitement to violence were virtually unknown factors in civil conflict, peace tech activists such as Theo Dolan were compiling lexica of hate speech terms to avert potentially genocidal events in emergent conflicts. This evening discussion brings him together with Ngala Desmond Ngala from Cameroon, two leaders in the field of open tech innovation and contemporary conflict mitigation to discuss the challenges and methodologies in trying to get one step ahead of the most virulent online conflict influencers.
