Frederik Pilemand Hansen

Candidacy for Head of the International Department

Why am I running?

I have a bachelors degree in Eastern European Studies and i am currently doing my masters in Global & Development studies, making Silba the perfect place to combine my regional experience with my knowledge about development work with civil societies. For the past year i have been working as head of international projects, and supported the start of three new projects and helped Silba expand it's network. What I find most rewarding about my work in Silba is seeing the positive impact our projects have on young people in the region, as well as witnessing the mutual learning and exchange of experiences that take place when Silba members meet with our international partners. This is what motivates me the most.

My Biggest Goal for the upcomming Board Term:

I have three main goals for my Board term:

- Establish more dialogue between the project groups to make sure that learnings from the project work is shared

- Start two new projects in Armenia and Bosnia Herzegovina

- Establish a strong collaboration between Silba and relevant stakeholders such as Embassies and NGOs working in the same region as us.
