Knowledge by, for and about newcomers

Over Sandrine Lafay

Sandrine Lafay leidt onze unit Actieonderzoek. Zij heeft een master in Conflict Studies & Human Rights, is een analytisch denker, een enthousiaste organisator en iemand die mensen op basis van oprechte interesse met elkaar verbindt. Wat Sandrine zo aanspreekt aan het Platform en OpenEmbassy als geheel: de verandering op individueel niveau wordt altijd gecombineerd met een verandering op systeemniveau.
