Liebe Mercator Alumni,

wir, Annegret, Ata und Daniela, würden in Absprache mit dem Alumni-Team der Stiftung Mercator, gerne eine Mercator Alumni Gruppe für die Regionen Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Mannheim etc. ins Leben rufen!

Um einen ersten Aufschlag zu machen treffen wir uns am Donnerstag, den 2.12.21 am Feuersee im Stuttgarter Westen auf ein gemütliches Beisammensein bei Punsch und Glühwein im Außenbereich.  Bitte beachtet die derzeit gültigen Corona-Regelungen vor Ort! Wir behalten uns kurzfristige Änderungen oder eine Absage des Treffens aufgrund der verschärften Pandemieentwicklung vor.

Seid Ihr dabei? Dann meldet euch im MercatorGlobe, dem Alumniportal der Stiftung Mercator an.

Falls ihr an diesem Tag nicht dabei sein könnt, aber dennoch Interesse an einer Alumni Gruppe habt, meldet euch gerne trotzdem bei uns, sodass wir euch in den Verteiler aufnehmen können (je nachdem wie wir uns am Ende organisieren) und tretet der Regionalgruppe im Portal bei.

Beste Grüße, Annegret, Ata und Daniela

Women in management positions are often exposed to the "double-bind" problem - they must be considered neither too feminine nor too masculine. Women therefore have to deal with their gender identity and develop career-related strategies in a different way than it is the case for men. In addition, unconscious thought patterns (unconscious bias) influence thinking, behavior and decisions, especially in an intercultural context, and require not only knowledge, but also above all sensitivity and reflection. Building on this, self-management and leadership skills are on the agenda. “Inclusive Leadership” will be presented in a practice-oriented manner and discussed in relation to the intercultural and personal experiences of the participants.

The seminar takes place via Zoom. Participation is limited to those alumnae who have successfully passed the application process.

Courage and leadership are closely related and key competencies for managers. Is courage something that can be trained? The participating alumnae get to know the method of “competent and courageous behavior” at workplaces. Besides the challenge of everyday courage, the intensity and speed of everyday work are constantly increasing, but private life also holds many new challenges, depending on the phase of life, especially for women. How do I get all my goals and needs under one roof? How can I better prioritize and achieve a life balance between work, family, friends and my own personal needs? What can we learn from people who master their lives in a particularly healthy and resilient manner? The aim of the training is to strengthen the participants' resilience, to provide them with tools and practical methods for active self-management and to support them in developing clear goals and strategies for more life balance and satisfaction.

The seminar takes place via Zoom. Participation is limited to those alumnae who have successfully passed the application process.  Please note: application closes on May 30, 2021.

The recent scholarly, political and public debates on EU–Turkey relations reflect the current deadlock in the accession process and are largely dominated by functional areas of cooperation such as trade, migration and energy. In this alumni-driven project we want to bring back the civil society dimension into discussions on EU-Turkey relations.

For this purpose, a group of Mercator Alumni will organize two workshops to discuss what Turkish civil society organizations expect from the EU and the accession process with respect to democratization and fundamental rights and freedoms. What are the structural problems Turkish civil society currently faces? How can EU policies and (new) instruments be effective in supporting Turkish civil society and expanding civic space?

Interested Members of the Mercator Alumni Network are invited to take part. Please see the current Call for Participants in the alumniportal MercatorGlobe for further details.

Workshop 1: 16 February 2022 | 14.00-16.00 CET | DIGITAL The first workshop will be online and be open only to alumni participants. In this workshop, we will look at the possibilities of bringing Turkish civil society organizations back into EU-Turkey relations.
