My statement
This statement is shared by the woman featured and offers a personal and authentic insight into the thoughts, experiences, and perspectives that shape her professional journey.
The Future & Impact theme focuses on how she envisions the future and the ways in which she strives to make a meaningful impact within her professional environment.
The following statement captures her reflections on the topic of FUTURE & IMPACT:
„Under bridges, what our society often represses becomes visible: inequality, exclusion. For me, change begins where we look, listen and take responsibility. The Freie Wohlfahrtspflege is committed to ensuring that we meet at eye level and stand up for each other. In times of technological and social transformation, we need bridges between people, cultures and systems – for progress that leaves no one behind. Our diversity is an added value: we learn and grow together. Technological developments should focus on people. The use of AI is intended to strengthen participation, promote equality and social justice and relieve the burden. That’s what I stand for: as a bridge builder.“
