Many women do not always feel safe in our cities. But they also face other obstacles in public space. What can we do to make our cities more inclusive for women?

\n\t\t\t

Polarisation in society does not only happen offline. Online, too, people debate, groups dig in their heels and discussions sometimes turn hostile. It is therefore not unusual for cities and municipalities to face online polarisation in response to their own communication. As a local government or organisation, you may think it is better not to respond, but is that really the case? You can in fact influence how healthy and constructive your own online environment is. But how do you do that in practice?<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWatch webinar \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

We are often quite clumsy in dealing with polarised topics. We fail to grasp the other\u2019s perspective and make statements that only drive groups further apart. We feel powerless against these social dynamics and often don\u2019t dare to intervene, afraid of getting it wrong.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a great wave of solidarity, but today we also see a lot of polarisation. Street protests are not always free of violence and things sometimes get heated on social media. So the question of how cities and municipalities can best deal with this is becoming ever more pressing. In this webinar we zoom in on the phenomenon of polarisation and look at which interventions are needed. What fuels polarisation and how can we achieve more cohesion?<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tWatch webinar \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Should we be afraid of social media? Do they shape how we see the world? Who is most susceptible to conspiracy theories? And what are possible solutions? Ike Picone (media and journalism specialist at the VUB) explains why we should not fixate on algorithms.

The Armenian genocide took place at the beginning of the 20th century. Yet to this day its history is a matter of debate. What is more, the historical facts about the mass murder are still not acknowledged by everyone. Denial of the genocide is now deliberately used as a means of polarisation. Some time ago, for example, leaflets full of historical disinformation landed in letterboxes in Mechelen. What are the historical facts about the Armenian genocide?
