The Handshake with Maja Groff

Overview

Navigating your career in the world of peace & justice can be tough: with so many potential causes, career paths and types of organisations. Sometimes it can even be difficult to imagine what a potential career path can look like, or to know where to begin.

That’s why The Hague Peace & Justice Talent Hub is hosting the ‘The Handshake’: an event series where we invite senior figures from the world of peace & justice to join in conversation and reveal how they’ve ended up where they are! You’ll have the chance to ask questions, get insights, and be inspired. This edition features Maja Groff, international lawyer and spokesperson.

This event is aimed at students and young professionals interested in learning more about careers in the humanitarian sector.
