THE HANDSHAKE

The Hague Humanity Hub aims to attract and retain talent in The Hague, positioning the city as the go-to destination for purpose-driven careers. By connecting students and young professionals passionate about building a more peaceful and just world with organisations in The Hague community, we create valuable opportunities for growth and collaboration. The Handshake event series, part of our Talent Hub programme, offers an accessible platform for students and early-career professionals to network and gain insights from experienced practitioners in the fields of peace and justice.

The Handshake offers a unique opportunity to hear the personal stories of senior practitioners in the field of peace and justice. Participants can engage directly, asking their pressing questions about career journeys, field developments, and the key skills needed for future professionals. It’s a low-pressure setting for networking and a valuable resource for students or young professionals seeking guidance or clarity on their career paths. For those who find the peace and justice sector daunting or don’t know where to begin, these conversations provide practical insights and help set realistic expectations for entering the field.
