Berlin, here I come! I have been appointed as the new Director of the European Centre of Excellence for Civilian Crisis Management. I'm deeply grateful to the CoE's members (24 EU member states) and preferred partners for this exciting opportunity.

This excellent @nytimes.com opinion piece by @nickkristof.bsky.social provides a brilliant example of the life-saving work of UNFPA and other organizations working to improve access to sexual and reproductive rights and services. Everyone deserves access to family planning. @unfpa.bsky.social

Here's a welcome entry to this platform! Former state secretary (MoFA), current New Yorker and my go-to sociologist on call. Help me out and tell us who should she follow here?

I just joined this platform and hope to find interesting people to follow! I'm a Finn and former Londoner, working for a UN organization in NYC. I´m interested in international relations, politics, culture, journalism and literature. Sounds like I´m looking for penpals? Grateful for recommendations!
