I’m an English-speaking Social Work Master’s student at the university of Ghent and I will be participating in an ongoing research project in Colombia in the context of a call for a better understanding of the armed conflict, its victims, and the recent history in Colombia. The project involves the formulation of a model of community psychosocial action from the perspective of the victim’s memories. This is important since research so far has shown current psychosocial support is failing.

My research question is related to the role of victimhood and perpertraterhood in psychosocial programs of organizations committed to reintegrating children and youth disengaged from armed groups in Colombia. For the reason that the attitude of the aid worker affects the aid given and thus the results. I can provide you with more information on the research project, as well on my specific research question. Feel free to contact me for more information!

These interviews promise to be very interesting with a big impact! Moreover, since it’s in cooperation with multiple Colombian universities with renowned scientists, it would be a nice addition to your resume.

I will probably need help of multiple people, so don’t hesitate to get in touch!

This project is not in partnership with TWB.

I would love to be part of this project! I was born and raised in Colombia, therefore I am able to understand any colloquialism that might be used in the interview. I am also very familiar with the current situation of my country, so I have previous knowledge that will help me to process new information shared. Let me know how can I help!
