THE HANDSHAKE

The Hague Humanity Hub intents to attract and retain talent in The Hague and make The Hague the obvious destination for a purpose-driven career. It seeks to connect students wishing to work for a more peaceful and just world with organizations in the Hague community. This event series is part of the Humanity Hub’s Talent Hub as an accessible way for young professionals and students to network and listen to seasoned practitioners from the world of Peace & Justice.

“The Handshake” allows participants to hear the personal stories of senior practitioners in the field of peace and justice. Ask them all your burning questions about their career path, developments in their fields of expertise and the skills future professionals need. This could be a low-effort opportunity to network with professionals and a powerful avenue for help for students or young professionals having doubts or insecurities about the path they want to take. Working in the field of Peace and Justice might be inaccessible to some and they might not know where to start. These chats can help with gaining a more realistic expectation of how to enter this work sector.
