“HopeNow and its staff offer decades of in-depth experience in counselling for survivors of human trafficking but also in national and international policy consultation.

Each member of the Hope Now team is an asset for introducing your class at school or university to increase awareness about the crucial topic of human trafficking.”

Thank you for coming! First of all, you guys were really good at teaching. You two on the 'stage' had a natural Ping pong.

Key takeaways:

1) How extensive the problem is in our society and how many women and men are trapped in trafficking.

2) Social effort economy - that there are good economic arguments, besides the obvious moral ones, for working against trafficking. It's exciting to make it a good business case.

Thank you for a very inspiring lecture. I was very uninformed about the topic, and I learned a lot about trafficking as something surrounding us way more than we think - that was very useful but also scary knowledge. In addition, relating this to project management, I think it has broadened my eyes to how hard it can be to manage a project if you cannot convince your stakeholders/shareholders what the project's purpose is and the outcome. As I understood it, you have to be very specific in terms of budget, and action plan, if you want to get funded - that was an important insight :-)

Thank you for such an important and awakening lecture.

Personally, I learned a lot about human trafficking that I did not know. Also, the importance of raising awareness around this theme. Thanks to both you and Michelle for that! I also got a new perspective on project management that I have not considered previously and a more practice-oriented approach through your real-life examples. Again, it was a bit of a tough lecture because of all the devastating details around human trafficking, but I am very grateful for it.

Thank you very much for a rewarding and informative lecture. You were very inspiring, both of you.

I was not aware of the extent of the problem - not in Denmark. It has been a more distant problem, and not in that way, with those perspectives being discussed in the media enough.

Your information and engagement gave me an enormous desire to be able to give and help people - and help make a real difference. Once again, thank you.

“I'd like to thank you for the seminar experience, I really enjoyed it. It is very rare to come across people who seem to be as invested in the work they do as you three, while at the same time having the ability to present their work in such a way that made me listen to every word that was being said. It's a topic we don't hear enough about and what you are doing is very noble and important to shed light on. 

The seminar was very inspiring and informative, and it particularly worked with the dynamic that you as presenters had. How you switched between presenting and working with us as the audience felt very natural and genuine. What I particularly enjoyed was how you built the atmosphere - even though we were talking about a very difficult topic, which made it quite emotional, I felt that the experience was lively and engaging, and most importantly, it was never dull.”
