CEO & Editor

I am inspired by idealistic political visions of change that can create new ways of living and thinking. My Master in International Studies in Portugal taught me those critical perspectives, and TEMA allows me to dig deeper. What are the roots of inequality? And how can we fight them together? I believe part of the answer is solidarity, integrity and tolerance. With TEMA we created a platform to support each other, to bring awareness to unseen issues and to learn from various perspectives.
