In this episode, Sofiia talks to Christina Wunder, who works at the intersection of tech, policy and sustainability. In Brussels, Christina is also known as a founder and a community organiser at Idealist Quarterly, quarterly events for people who are pushing for social, economic and climate justice.Christina grew up as an immigrant child in a small town in Germany, where her childhood was very different, as oppose to her current expat life in Brussels, Belgium. Early on Christina became aware of the privileges, being discriminated herself on many occasions. Much later in her life, as the flood in her home region happened, being in a very dark space herself, realising all the injustices in the world related to colonialism, patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism... Christina felt like she needs to do something about it. She started with afterwork drinks with a few friends that work on the issues. More and more people were joining the conversations, which grew into Idealist Quarterly community and events that gather at least a hundred of engaged and interested citizens to talk about sustainability, policy and tech.Listen to the whole episode to learn more about Christina's journey, career, and events, as well as speakers and attendees that join. Moreover, if you are in Brussels, be sure to join Christina for the next Idealist Quarterly event.If you want to connect to Christina, check out her LinkedIn and Twitter accounts. Relevant links and recommendations:Idealist Quarterly NewsletterIdealist Quarterly eventsFor more on VONA:Sign up for our monthly Newsletter at www.VONA.internationalInstagram @vona.internationalTwitter @VONA_intLinkedIn VONA InternationalPodcast hosted by Sofiia ShevchukVisuals and podcast production by Tamas Viski Hosted on Acast.
