Justice Talks

Friends and followers!

Today, we present Justice Talks’ final board member, Fatou Bah. Working as an anthropologist has taught her the importance of integration and positive interaction in the empowerment of everyone involved. This is only one example of the values that Fatou contributes to Justice Talks, and if you want to know more continue reading below.

“ HELLO! My name is Fatou Bah and I am the secretary for JusticeTalks. When people with different experiences interact with each other, enormous potential is activated that exists within each one of us and is reflected in the form of positive exchange. As an anthropologist, I have learned the importance of contact with others and within the own group that strengthens both oneself and the group. It is of my conviction that JusticeTalks enables people to open up, to both give and take, and in that way also diminish the social isolation. Social community changes one's lifestyle at the same time as it is leading to social cohesion and solidarity. In turn, this might contribute to democratic development through discussion about common problems. “

Hello everyone!

My name is Anastasia Ponomareva, and I am a part of the marketing team. Today, it is my turn to present myself.

I am a peace and conflict graduate with a strong interest in human rights. Being born and raised in a socio-economically vulnerable area with a multicultural background has taught me the importance of studying issues from different perspectives. In conflicts, I believe that it is invaluable to take time to understand the logic behind someone else’s position. This will help pinpoint the root cause of the conflict, paving the way for pragmatic and effective solutions. However, to achieve the former, one must leave room for others to speak. Equally important is hearing what is being said, which implies reading between the lines.

I joined Justice Talks, not to talk to people, but with them. We want to hear your stories. We want to learn from your experiences, and finally, we want to give you the tools to change your situation after your needs.
