  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#252932"&gt;The internet shapes how we access information, organise, and participate in public life — but who is actually responsible for what happens on digital platforms, and what rights do we have as users? The EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) is one of the most significant pieces of online regulation in a generation, yet what do we really know about what it means in practice?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#252932"&gt;This Act on Democracy session brings together two experts to help us understand the DSA: what it does, what it doesn't do, and what citizens, civil society and advocates can do to make it work better for democracy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

  &lt;h1 style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" color="#252932" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how i found my true vision FOR peace&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;by Eva Dalak&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18.6667px; line-height: 29px;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font color="#40B2CF"&gt;Book Launch&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;/ Sat&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;19&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;th Sept&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;/&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;5-7 pm&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932"&gt;As a Palestinian woman who grew up in Israel, Eva Dalak's personal story is woven with the collective wounds of conflict, displacement, and inherited pain. Her m&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;emoir of transformation,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#252932"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dancing in the Dark,&lt;/em&gt; is an exceptional, powerful&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;journey through loss, identity and the reclamation of light in the face of darkness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#252932"&gt;Eva does not just share&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#252932"&gt;a testimony of survival, but a profound exploration of healing. As she even&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;lost her vision for two years, she had to navigate physical blindness alongside the unseen landscapes of trauma, belonging and ancestral memory.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;With honesty and poetic grace, she traces her path from disorientation to clarity, from fragmentation to wholeness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;She also introduces her Peace Activation framework, through which she weaves trauma-informed practices, intergenerational dialogue and embodied resilience into a new way forward - for individuals as well as for communities and nations caught in cycles of violence.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;What if the reason we struggle to create lasting peace isn't what we think?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;font color="#252932" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;What if our most well-crafted peace agreements fail not because we lack good intentions, but because we're missing something fundamental?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;Come hear Eva's powerful testimony of awakening&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;, begin to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font&gt;s&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font&gt;ee with new eyes and &lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;discover how to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;activate peace as a lived experience&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="font-size: 18.6667px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In order to challenge harmful political ideas and systems, from carbon emitting industries to increasingly authoritarian governments, it’s crucial to shift public understanding and common sense. And to do that, NGOs, governmental bodies, and others need to first understand why prevailing narratives maintain their power and appeal. Only then does it become possible to strategically select and design interventions (from media-led campaigns to embedded community practices) that will be sufficiently powerful and appealing to change the political landscape for good.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="font-size: 18.6667px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In this session, we’ll share our expertise about how best to do this, building on years of experience working with coalitions and progressive institutions across the world. Together, we’ll map dominant societal narratives that keep our imagination and action trapped in a limited spectrum of possibilities, and tracing the institutions, practices, and policies that make narratives powerful.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="font-size: 18.6667px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In this workshop, we will:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="font-size: 18.6667px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Understand &amp;amp; analyse the landscape of prevailing assumptions and agendas around a topic.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Apply this to a key political topic or area of focus, identifying opportunities to shift the conversation and alter common sense.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Consider the role of narrative mapping in larger processes of social and political change&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

But how best to use stories today, especially in an age where people are increasingly distracted, time-poor, and anxious? We’ll approach this problem with timeliness insights from narrative fiction as well as a modern twist. Together, through creative storytelling and short writing exercises, we’ll practice creating compelling stories that can replace unhelpful and misleading mental models, outperform harmful competing stories, and energise people to act.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="font-size: 18.666666px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;In this session, we’ll sharpen our storytelling skills, with the help of tools and frameworks that can guide and inspire us. And we’ll consider how to make the age-old power of a story work in the age of fragmented political soundbites and the shortest of short-form video.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="justify" style="font-size: 18.666666px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We will:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div align="justify" style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;
  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica"&gt;Who really rules the world we live in?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Not governments. Not voters. According to award-winning economist Cecilia Rikap, it's a small cluster of cloud hegemons (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) whose intellectual monopolies over knowledge, data and narratives now shape global capitalism itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Rikap reveals how even giants like Disney, McDonald's, Nike and Walmart depend on these tech rulers to extract value through AI and discipline their own workforces. States, too, are watching core functions slip from their hands. Innovation, in this telling, is not a free and neutral game - it's a hierarchy, and someone is always at the top of it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;To get there, Rikap went straight to the source: 112 interviews with people inside the world's largest firms, combined with hard data on venture capital, acquisitions, open source, AI conferences and patents - piecing together a vivid map of who holds power today and what's at stake.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;However, this is not a story without an exit. Rikap's counterimage insists technology can still be developed by the people, for the people and the planet, through democratic planning rather than predatory concentration.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Come hear how we got here and how we might take the cloud back.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center" style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;_____________________________&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;____________________________&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h3 style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#252932" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;ABOUT THE SPEAKER&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

She currently studies the rising concentration of intangible assets leading to the emergence of intellectual monopolies, among others from digital and pharma industries, the distribution of intellectual rents, resulting geopolitical tensions and the effects of knowledge assetisation on the knowledge commons and development.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What does Sarajevo's local politics reveal about the ambitions of Trump, Putin, and Erdoğan?&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;these questions were already being written into the map,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; In overlooked territories in eastern Europe, the eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus, where local disputes spiral into regional crises, global alliances are forged and broken, and power is brokered while the West looks elsewhere.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Set across four decades, from 1979 to 2009, this is a polyphonic novel of one family’s flight from and return to Iran. It is&lt;font color="#252932" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;about revolution, oppression, resistance, and the absolute desire for freedom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;1979. Behzad, a young communist revolutionary, fights with his friends for a new order after the Shah’s expulsion. He tells of sparking hope, of clandestine political actions, and of how he finds the love of his life in the courageous, intelligent Nahid.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;1989. Nahid lives her new life in West Germany with Behzad. With their young children, they spend hour after hour in front of the radio, hoping for news from others who went into hiding after the mullahs came to power.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;1999. Laleh returns to Iran with her mother, Nahid. Between beauty rituals and family secrets, she gets to know a Tehran that hardly matches her childhood memories.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;p style="line-height: 20px;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font color="#252932" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;2009. Laleh’s brother Mo is more concerned with a friend’s heartbreak than with student demonstrations in Germany. But then the Green Revolution breaks out in Iran and turns the world upside down.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
