If you were ever looking for proof that there can be kindness, open listening, and a willingness to learn from and with each other even when diverse (political) stakeholders are involved, this is one.
It's been a great pleasure to moderate the #weltwärts international partner conference in Berlin. In interactive workshops, we had the chance to dive into and explore our experiences with #sustainability, the SDGs, #inclusion, and many other topics relating to the weltwaerts volunteering program.
Thanks to everyone involved at the Federal Ministry for Cooperation and Development (Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ)), the Program Steering Committee representatives, and all NGO representatives from the Global South and the Global North for making it such a joyful & productive event. Thanks to my moderation team Moeun Phary, Sarith Bin, and Johannes S. Vogel for all your flexibility, cross-cultural collaboration, and kindness. And a big shout out to weltwaerts Coordination Unit & VJF and in particular Helene Rehfeld for organizing this event.
