Dr. Friederike Repnik

As a consultant for Dealing with the Past and a moderator, Dr. Friederike Repnik supports church and civil society organizations worldwide in processes of overcoming violence and promoting peace. Her focus lies in creating spaces for encounter and dialogue – attentive, structured, and impact-oriented.
