Panel sessions
The EHF 2024 panel sessions will consist of moderated discussions among the wider humanitarian- development community, including EU institutions, EU Member States, third countries, partner organisations, local humanitarian actors, UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent family and academics.
Humanitarian Talks
Humanitarian Talks provide a space for discussion running in parallel with the EHF panels and an opportunity for focused exchange on concrete deliverables as well as on more specific humanitarian issues and crises that will not be addressed in the EHF24 panel sessions.
Humanitarian Talks complement the EHF programme with hands-on discussions, which reinforce the
“concrete delivery” aspect of the Forum. Proposed and led by partners and Member States, they offer an
alternative platform for humanitarian stakeholders to contribute and thematically complement the core
agenda of the event.
The Talks will showcase initiatives and discussions driven by partners, Member States and practitioners.
Recorded Humanitarian Talk, Organised by : Plan International
The media – both traditional and “new” – acts as a searchlight, focusing on particular areas of the world and thus directing the attention of policymakers and the public. This often results in action, albeit short-lived. At the same time, numerous other protracted crises unfold across the world away from media attention. Lack of attention results in a lack of resources. Exploring why particular crises are “forgotten” may help draw attention towards them. This panel discussion therefore aims to identify some of the causes of a lack of media attention and to explore ways to remedy it and to ensure adequate coverage of protracted crises around the world.
The session is moderated by Anouk Delafortrie.
