Last month, we had <\/span><\/b>an incredible time at our RNW Media <\/span><\/b>Welcome Event to commemorate our new office space in the Koepel in Haarlem and our 75th anniversary!\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We were honored to be joined by keynote speaker Digital Anthropologist, Payal Arora from Erasmus University Rotterdam who set the stage with her speech \u2018Engaging the Next Billion for Social Change\u2019 showcasing her comprehensive knowledge on digital rights. We were then joined by discussion moderator Ruba Mimi and our panel of changemakers from <\/span>Love Matters Arabic,\u202f<\/span>SMEX<\/span><\/a>\u202fand\u202f<\/span>Yaga Burundi<\/span><\/a> who shared their experiences using digital media and data to co-create safe digital (civic) spaces for change and advocate for digital rights.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>RNW Media Welcome Event <\/span>was not just talks and <\/span>discussions<\/span>. We <\/span>ended with a<\/span> social event<\/span> at the <\/span>DeliCafe<\/span><\/a>, where all guests had the option to mingle and network over drinks and bites. We were delighted that many of our guests shared that they were inspired by the speeches and panel discussions and took away new insights on using digital media for social change.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
