In the Brussels TRIALOG office, Filiz Aytac has already started to get familiar with different topics of EU development policy and structures as well as with TRIALOG and CONCORD work and enlargement issues. Filiz was born in Turkey, studied in Paris and London and has previous work experience in the NGO field as well as with EU institutions. She will support TRIALOG in its cooperation with Turkey and Cyprus, attend and report back from relevant Brussels events as well as support our Policy Officer in the coordination of the work around the working group EPAN (Enlargement, Pre-Accession and Neighbourhood). At the moment, she is completing a paper on the impact of the EU Blue card on development cooperation policies and its implications on the countries of origin and destination. Filiz will stay with us until end of June 2010.
In the Vienna Head Office, Christoph Omann from Austria and Gabi Thomasová from Slovakia are taking active part in the preparation of the TRIALOG Partnership Fair which will in February gather 150 people in Vienna to support NGOs from across Europe to get in contact with each other and design joint development (education) projects for the future. Christoph is a student of International Development with a focus on political science and geography at the University of Vienna, he also did a previous internship at an environment and human rights organization in Argentina. Gabi completed two master studies in Bratislava and the Netherlands and finished a postgraduate programme in Vienna. She lived and collected working experience in the USA, Netherlands, Austria and Slovakia and worked with various state and civil society organisations as an intern. Thanks to Gabi and Christoph the logistical preparation of the Partnership Fair is well on track!We welcome all three colleagues in our team and thank for their invaluable support!
