The Handshake (3rd Edition)

Navigating your career in the world of peace & justice can be tough: with so many potential options, causes, and routes into the sector. Sometimes it can even be difficult to think where to begin- do I need to do several internships? Does everyone need to go into ‘programme management’? And why does every UN job require a 24-page application form? 

That’s why The Hague Peace & Justice Talent Hub has launched ‘The Handshake’: an event series where we invite senior figures from the world of peace & justice to join in conversation and reveal how they have ended up where they are in their career! You will have the chance to ask questions, get insights, and be inspired. The third edition features Siobhan Richards from the Mukwege Foundation.

Siobhan Richards joined the Mukwege Foundation in 2018 as a fundraising officer, responsible for institutional fundraising with foundations, governments and multilateral organisations. She has many years experience of both fundraising and grant-making gained in the UK and the Netherlands. Her diverse experience includes public-facing roles as a trainer and teacher, managing partnerships and networks, and capacity building in the non-profit sector. Prior to her work for the Mukwege Foundation she worked for the Heritage Lottery Fund in the UK as a development officer and grants manager, and as a freelance entrepreneur in the Netherlands.

Join us on October 17 (17:00 – 18.30) to hear more about her career journey!
