Last week, I was at the Africa Ambassador Labour Mobility Summit organised by diaspora organisation Giving Africa a New Face (GAaNF) e.V. and the 360° Labour Mobility Alliance.
One thought from my side: working in and looking more closely at networks.

Previous posts in this series explored why giving back is a valuable process, what it means and discussed potential limits and constraints. Today, I want to shed light on potential success factors in the process of giving back to communities that researchers work with.👇

Giving back in research settings is a continuous process between researchers & community members. The previous post in this series explored why giving back is such a valuable process & what it means. Today, I want to talk about the limits & constraints that are attached to processes of giving back.

Access to political spaces.
Who is considered a relevant agent or player is also mirrored in the vacant seats in powerful institutions. Who is not represented? For diasporas, we can observe that they are or have been missing in a few political spaces occupied by other civil society organisations.

A foreboding bad feeling after an interview, a sense of guilt after a participant observation, a frustration after giving a favour that felt too little for what was received in return.
Many researchers know these feelings - A series of posts about the topic of giving back in research.

Why should countries of residence engage systematically with diaspora groups in international matters?
In a mini-series of posts, I reflected on that question. If you have further answers please share them!

Wir sind eine von fast 1.500 Organisationen, die den Aufruf "Hand in Hand - jetzt solidarisch aktiv werden!" unterzeichnet haben. Auch wir werden der rechten Normalisierung in Deutschland nicht zuschauen.

Another post in the reflection series: Why to engage with diasporas from a foreign policy view in countries of residence? Past posts hinted at diasporas' potential, the downside of diaspora activities & foreign policy goals. Today's post links foreign & domestic policies; it's about security.

“Ich sitze auf gepackten Koffern“, las ich vor einigen Jahren von einem Kommilitonen auf Facebook. Er sprach von dem beklemmenden Gefühl des rechtsradikalen Rucks in Deutschland.
„Aber wo wollen wir denn hin?“ erinnere ich mich aus Gesprächen mit Freund:innen und Verwandten.

Diaspora Professionalism is for me a two-edged sword.
➕ On the one side, a more professionalised diaspora organisation gets more attention from political decision-makers, potential (funding) partners & media. Professionalised structures make more resources available & help to increase the impact.

As the year comes to an end it's time for me to look back & see what #diaspora relevant events happened. This is a non-exhaustive overview of key events from the perspective of African diaspora groups in Germany. The focus is on international topics.
Did I forget relevant events? Let me know 💡

I reflect briefly on this topic in this series of posts. This is the 2nd post & the argument goes like this: if diaspora groups act as destructive forces it is important to know about their activities in order to act

More and more often I come across Diaspora Advisory Boards, so I made a quick research and the result is this non-exhaustive table that shall illustrate a few dimensions in which these boards might differ.
Why is this table interesting for you? 👇

I will briefly reflect on this in a mini-series where I tackle that question from the perspective of foreign policy institutions in countries of residence. First argument is the untapped potential
