Interesting article by the Swiss Network of young Migration Scholars SNyMS' member, Clara Bombach!

My view on domestic Violence in Greece in Kathimerini. -“Even if we let these people go, will the next abused woman be saved from murder?” The development of best practices relies on three equally important elements. Mandatory and repetitive training/awareness-raising of first-raw professionals, a multidisciplinary team that will be responsible for developing the strategy and follow-up on all cases as well as the introduction of an easy-to-apply targeted protocol that will minimize the possibility of mistakes. https://lnkd.in/dFQEq-AN

I'm not a big fan of making political statements on LinkedIn, but today some statistics about how Greek people voted in the 2024 EU elections have been released by the Center for Liberal Studies (https://lnkd.in/dj8x7GGT). I believe that regardless of the political party someone supported, it is particularly concerning to elect those with the "poorest" resumes. Some standout points are the following: 1) 70% of those elected are men, while they comprised 58% of the candidates. 2) 17.6% of those elected have a PhD and 17.6% have a bachelor's and master's degree, lower than the corresponding percentages of the candidates (19% and 22%, respectively). 3) Populist parties gathered 54% of the votes. It is important, especially for the younger generation, to fully understand the value and significance of the European Parliament and the substantial impact of its decisions on the lives and daily routines of the citizens of the member countries. P.S. This post was inspired by the excellent article by Sofia Christou, which was published today in Kathimerini (https://lnkd.in/dJDzuEjb).

Comparing how Greek citizens feel about their quality of life to other EU member-states, three out of the four regions of Greece (at NUTS I level - i.e. Attica, Central Greece and North Greece but not the region of the Aegean islands and Crete) are classified in the group of the last twenty (out of 194, at NUTS I and II levels) regions in the EU. Furthermore, citizens in all four regions are not optimistic about their future, again featuring in the last cluster of the least optimistic regions in the EU. Are we going to experience the political repercussions of this disappointment in the form of a populist rise in the upcoming EP elections? https://lnkd.in/dqzgNnYy

Culture and politics are interconnected. Sensor Media has a conversation with me about my experience at Ukrainian school of political studies, which can be found on the link👇 https://lnkd.in/drzSbEW4
