08 sep WARM WELCOME TO OUR NEW INTERN – SOPHIE OPDAM
Sophie Opdam came from the Netherlands to Sweden to pursue a Master´s degree in Peace and Conflict Studies at @Uppsala University. As part of her education, she has the opportunity to intern at the @Parliamentary Forum on Small Arms and Light Weapons (PFSALW) through the Swedish Development Forum’s internship program.
– I’m excited to have the opportunity to observe and learn from the efforts of PFSALW to achieve a more peaceful and sustainably developed societies by strengthening the role of parliamentarians. As a student in Peace and Conflict Studies, I learned about the relation between sustainable development and Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW)-related violence and I can’t wait to put my knowledge to practice and be a part of the efforts to increase peace and sustainable development, says Sophie Opdam.
