    Workshops - Round One

    • Workshop 1 is led by Trine Pejstrup (2020 Cph Fellowship). Trine is a senior fellow from the 2020 Copenhagen Fellowship. Currently, she works as a graduate professional with the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research in Geneva parallel to her studies at Copenhagen Business School. Trine has held two positions at the UN Secretariat in New York and worked with NGOs in China, Australia, and the Philippines. Her professional engagements have been based on an interest in public information and education, which will be highlighted in her workshop.

      Location:Workshop 1: "Educational development in the Unity of the Realm"

    • Workshop 2 is led by Cecilie Seidelin Nobel (2020 Cph Fellowship). How do you change ongoing human rights violations in a country like China? Although China has signed and ratified several human rights treaties, they continue the suppression of both religious and personal freedom in many regions such as Tibet and Xinjiang. China has immense influence in both political and economic spheres , which has led many governments to look the other way as economic gain has continuously been valued above human rights. The Chinese understanding of human rights and democracy is very different from the western, so in order to change these ongoing atrocities I believe it is imperative to understand these differences and why China act as they do.

    Workshops - Round Two

    • Workshop 3 is led by Sørine Vesth Rasmussen (2011 Cph Fellowship). This workshop will be a rodeo ride through tangible and easily applicable tools on Public Affairs, networking, stakeholder management and the like. What you need to bring: something that you find injust and want to change. Disclaimer: last year Sørine held this workshop with a 5 week old baby, but he's all grown now and won't be attending. The rest of the workshop will be similar to last year, so if you attended last year, you might want to choose something else.
