Knowledge by, for and about newcomers

Over Mahad Hussein

Met meer dan 15 jaar ervaring als ambtenaar begrijpt Mahad als geen ander bij OpenEmbassy wat de dilemma’s van gemeenten zijn. Betrokkenheid is voor Mahad vanzelfsprekend. In alle landen waar hij verbleef, ondersteunde hij (jonge) mensen in kwetsbare posities. Hij heeft ongelofelijk veel levenservaring. Gecombineerd met zijn scherpe geest, levert dat zorgvuldige analyses op. Hij leest het liefst in het Frans, en dan graag klassiekers, zonder moderne fratsen.
