Building and Operationalizing Your DEI Strategy | Panel

In today’s business world, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are often treated as buzzwords. But the reality is, when you make DEI a priority, every facet of your organization benefits, including the bottom line. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all DEI roadmap, which leaves many organizations struggling with where to start and how to achieve success through strategy. In this session, you will hear from three leading executives who are advancing DEI within their organizations.

Cincinnati World Cinema - Women on the Edge
2021-06-11 - 2021-06-13 | The Garfield Theatre, 719 Race Street, Cincinnati, OH, 45202, United States
Friday, June 11 through Sunday, June 13 at the Garfield
Also online in the CWC Virtual Cinema
NINA WU 103 min, Taiwan/Myanmar, R, in Mandarin with English subs.
THE COLUMNIST 85 min, The Netherlands, R, in Dutch with English subs.
We’re proud to present two unusual international films offering the stories of two very different women pushed over the edge by toxic environments affecting not only their careers, but their dignity, sanity and safety.
The over-the-top treatment in THE COLUMNIST, set in the realm of social media and publishing, provides a subversively comedic take on a person who goes too far in pursuit of retribution. As its Cannes and NYT Critic’s Pick credentials suggest, NINA WU is a more serious work, a searing indictment of systemic exploitation in the film industry.
The underlying theme is exploitation and both films examine the ways these women try to understand and deal with their experiences as they become immersed in stressful situations. Both offer ample ground for post-film discussion.
The weekend screenings open with NINA WU, Friday June 11 at 7 pm, which repeats on Saturday June 12 at 4 pm. THE COLUMNIST screens Saturday June 12 at 7 pm and repeats on Sunday June 13 at 4 pm. Single tickets are $10 for all screenings, with a discount $16 double-bill option on Saturday. Trailers, details, dates/times and tickets:

“How to watch” and tech info: Virtual Cinema FAQ.

Thank you to everyone who attended the first five weekends at the reopened Garfield Theatre, and welcome to the new virtual viewers who’ve joined the CWC film family. Double-thanks to all who thoughtfully added to the Tip Jar when ordering – it really helps! We will continue the hybrid approach with in-person screenings at the Garfield and online screenings via our Virtual Cinema.
With the Ohio vaccination rate at 39%, CWC will not abolish safety measures just yet but will adjust as things improve. For June, we have increased Garfield capacity from 25% to 50% using two-seat in-row distancing with seats available in every row, staggered when possible.
As most ticket purchases are pairs sprinkled with singles, actually capacity will likely be closer to 40%. We do request that in-person attendees have completed the vaccine process and also request the use of masks in common areas. While Ohio is jumping into high gear full-open, we will continue to keep patron comfort level and safety as our top priority.
Thanks again & see you soon,
Tim

A (Pandemic) Year in the Life of a Peace Teacher - Stories of Resilience from the American Classroom
2021-07-08 13:00 - 14:30 | OH
Amid the COVID pandemic and national upheaval, four high school teachers from Alaska, Kentucky, Mississippi and Nebraska participated in USIP’s Peace Teachers Program and dedicated themselves to helping their students make sense of conflicts in the world and to showing them how peace can be achieved.
The Peace Teachers Program is rooted in the conviction that educators can be pivotal in bringing issues of international conflict and practical peacebuilding skills into their classrooms, schools and communities. Each school year, USIP selects a cohort of outstanding American middle and high school teachers from different U.S. states to receive education, resources and support to strengthen their teaching of international conflict and peace. Given the disruptions of the COVID pandemic, the 2019 cohort was extended — and the teachers persisted, despite the difficult context, in providing their students with opportunities to explore new perspectives, make global connections and develop critical skills to help them navigate a changed world.
Join USIP and the 2019-2021 Peace Teachers as they share their experiences, insights and strategies for engaging new generations in peacebuilding based on their time in the program — including how their own approaches to teaching conflict and peace evolved during this tumultuous period.
Take part in the conversation on Twitter with #USIPPeaceTeachers.

Saving Democracy: Reinventing Institutions & Practices for the 21st Century
2021-07-12 14:00 - 15:00 | OH
World Affairs Councils of America

Jan-Werner Müller
Professor of Politics, Princeton University
Author of Democracy Rules

Democracy is under attack. Rising populism, waning trust in democratic institutions and practices, and a period of unprecedented uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have strained democratic institutions.

Jan-Werner Müller will discuss his new book, Democracy Rules, which suggests that we need to re-invigorate the intermediary institutions that have been deemed essential for democracy’s success: political parties and free media.

Democracies in Distress: Europe and the United States
2021-07-13 11:00 - 12:00 | OH
On both sides of the Atlantic, popular confidence in political institutions has fallen and voters are increasingly disenchanted with mainstream political parties. In the United States, political polarization is at an all-time high, and in Europe, political splintering is weakening long-established parties. Additionally, citizens are unable to determine which news sources are trustworthy and increasingly influenced by fake news and conspiracy theories promulgated by both domestic and foreign actors (namely China and Russia). What are some of the causes of these trends and what can be done to address them? Join us on July 13th to learn more.

Waning Trust in Democratic Institutions: How to Rebuild Citizen Confidence
2021-07-13 14:00 - 15:00 | OH
The decline of establishment political parties, media, and interest groups have opened the door to anti-democratic forces, posing new challenges for our democracies. This program will examine how Europe’s establishment parties are faltering and how the rise of social media poses new challenges on both sides of the Atlantic.
Presented in conjunction with the World Affairs Council of America, the American Council on Germany and Atlantik-Brucke.
Dr. Daniel Ziblatt, Eaton Professor of Government at Harvard University and Director of the Transformations of Democracy Group at the WZB Social Science Center Berlin, and Pauline Frohlich, head of the Future Democracy Program at The Progressive Center in Berlin Germany discuss their perspectives.

Diplomats at Work | Working in the Arctic: A U.S. Diplomat's Story feat. Eavan Cully, U.S. Department of State
2021-07-15 13:00 | OH
The Arctic is a geopolitical hotspot and strengthening the U.S. presence in the Arctic is a foreign policy priority. To that end, in June 2020, U.S. diplomats reopened the U.S. Consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, 67 years after it had been closed. Diplomats at Work is hosting Eavan Cully, the public affairs officer at U.S. Consulate Nuuk, to hear about her experience working to reopen a long-shuttered consulate in what is now a fast-growing city that is becoming a center for Arctic issues. They will discuss the importance of this reopening as well as life and work in Greenland for a young U.S. diplomat. There will be opportunities for Q&A. The event is open to the public.

Nuancing National Security: The 21st Century Military
2021-08-25 18:30 - 19:30 | OH
Click Here to Register

A central mandate of any national government is national security, but the responsibility involves much more than traditional military defense capabilities. Today, while balancing military and diplomacy priorities, national governments assess and combat threats in cyberspace and outer space, water supplies and power grids, food production and energy chains. In this six-part virtual series, the International Relations Council will take a deep dive into the national security arena, offering historical context and global perspective for core dimensions of national security and exploring the risks, priorities, and tactics on the radar of U.S. security policy.

Global Tea Party: How Relationships Are Built Over A Cuppa Tea
This Globinar will allow you to relax, network, and explore relationship building with Author Lady Dana Austin.
Dana will join you with new friends from around the world to assist with new AND old relationship building strategies for 2021 – business over tea.
Lady Dana published her book “Tea With Strings Vignettes – Culture, Customs & Recipes” during the height of COVID-19 pandemic when the world went virtual! As she saw people using the internet and conducting virtual meetings, she saw fatigue, and unfamiliarity with new technologies and thought to herself that while the world ushers in the new business platforms, someone had to advocate for the old customs and platforms that made so many people successful in business.
Lady Dana reminds us of an older customs and tradition of drinking tea together that is at the heart of so many of the world’s civilizations. Lady Dana reminds us it’s ok to take time out to have tea with someone to get to know them better. She also reminds us that business etiquette is also something global business leaders need to be reminded of as they conduct business virtually. The customs, beliefs and traditions of an international audience within a global economy still require attention to detail.
Did you know in some customs, before any monetary transaction is conducted, the business owner will take the time to greet and learn about their potential customer over a cuppa tea? Join us in the first of many Global Tea Parties with Author Lady Dana Austin!
All globinars are free for members. Please login to receive your ticket.
Sunday, August 29th at 2:00pm CST / noon PT / 3pm ET / 8pm London
