Kirjoitin pakolaisuudesta ja termeistä juuri julkaistuun Muuttoliike murroksessa -teokseen ollessani vielä Suomen Pakolaisapu | Finnish Refugee Council leivissä. Puheella rakennetaan yhteiskuntaa, jossa elämme - oikeilla termeillä on merkitystä. Suuri kiitos Jussi P. Laine ja @NooraKotilainen hienosta työstä!

Despite the serious faces, had a wonderful meeting with the #DigitalInclusion Roundtable today, featuring inspiring DI experts from all over the world! It is such a privilege to be working together for a more inclusive and equal digital world.

Good example of issue raised RightsCon: connectivity is still synonymous with access for most. Let’s be clear that what is referred to here (connectivity+literacy+civic participation+safety) is actually what G7 Follow @ODET_UN for the latest updates Freedom Online Coalition + others refer to as digital inclusion!

Friday was my last day at Follow @ODET_UN for the latest updates. It was a true privilege to work for #DigitalInclusion and a more equitable digital world. I am most thankful. Today was my first day at UN Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Innovation Cell working on innovative solutions for peacebuilding. I’m so excited and motivated!

We’ve received thousands of questions on the Geneva Conventions. So, we’re going to break down the rules of war you need to know right now. All states have signed these – and are legally obligated to follow them. Thread 👇

Nearly two weeks on, it is painfully clear that those suffering the most after Russia's invasion of #Ukraine are civilians - killed, wounded, displaced. This war is senseless. We are ready to support all good-faith efforts at negotiation to end the bloodshed.

We visited UN Political and Peacebuilding Affairs with our colleagues from 🇫🇮 Center for Peace Mediation. Thank you for showing #PathwaysColombia, an immersive virtual reality experience about the peace process in Colombia, with us! 🔗 More on the #VR project: futuringpeace.org/VR/Pathwayscol… #Throwback Misión de la ONU en Colombia

If you're United Nations headquarters this week, don't miss the exhibition “What is the Shape of #Innovation?” in the UNHQ lobby, organized by DPPA & Altimeter Group. Celebrating World Creativity & Innovation Day, the exhibition explores how objects translate meaning & support peace.

Another exciting day at the Innovation Cell! Using virtual reality can support discussing complex contexts such as the crisis in Yemen. So privileged to have visited the Security Council again, thank you Albania in UN for hosting!

Naisten kehot eivät ole olemassa miesten katsetta varten. Tämä tuntuu olevan monille yhä epäselvää. Kaikenlaiselle seksuaaliselle häirinnälle ja väkivallalle on oltava nollatoleranssi. Liity mukaan puolustamaan tasa-arvoa: ow.ly/feuk50JEqvE

Thank you Security Council Report for your visit and the insightful conversations, it was a pleasure!

How exciting to see this published - it was such an honor to be a part of this crucial work while at Follow @ODET_UN for the latest updates! Digital Inclusion will always remain a priority for me, no matter where I work.

This week, I had the incredible chance to join UNOWAS youth workshop on climate change and peace, representing the UN Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Innovation Cell. These young thinkers and activists will make a huge impact in West Africa & Sahel and the world. Thank you for the passion and wisdom!

Experts of the Group of Friends of Mediation met to discuss the use of VR and other innovation tools in the context of mediation and peace processes. Thank you UNDPPA for your excellent work and for giving us a memorable virtual reality experience. 🇫🇮🇹🇷

So wonderful to be back for another E-Analytics course with brilliant colleagues from all around the world! Many thanks for QCRI, Ahmed Elmagarmid and Muhammad Imran for having us and working towards innovative solutions for peace together.
