The secondary
reason why I started this blog is because I want to share my experience. I just
jumped onto a new path -- non governmental institutions have long been things
that I viewed from far, I never thought that one day I would work for free, but
for good at the same time. Things have changed or I have changed or most
probably: both -- I applied for various jobs at TASZ and Helsinki Committee, already
joined the organizer team of the Pride and also, I am one of the 5 founders of
a new group belonging to Amnesty International. Now, I'm going to introduce
that one.
The group's main
profile is violence against women, but we are not planning to become an
emergency service, rather a support service (in terms of legal assistance for
example). What is good in this "job" is that I know what I'm doing is
important, helpful, and I can also use my art manager qualifications: I already
highlighted some of my ideas about events I want to organize. As long as we
follow and keep the basic rules and principles of Amnesty, the group has a
relatively large autonomy, we can do whatever we want, arrange meetings, hold
film screenings, open exhibitions etc. Awesome. I'm enthusiastic enough to make
this good.
Actually, I was
lucky enough: I never lived through any source of violence, nor did I ever had
an aggressive partner, but I do think that without any personal experience I am
capable of doing it well. I believe we (the group) can demonstrate the topics
through various programs authentically and comprehensively. Fortunately, the
office employs hundreds of activists, they are going to be helpful for the work
we are doing.
