As part of Social Justice Awareness Week, an initiative by the The Social Justice Project Group and Sustainability Committee, we were thrilled to welcome Sonja Zeven Schokkenbroek, a passionate advocate for social change and community connection.
Sonja works with impactful organizations at global, national, and local levels, including:
- The Salvation Army
- VluchtelingenWerk Nederland
- Stichting Present, particularly the Friend4friend NL initiative.
Through her work as coordinator of Friend4friend NL, a buddy programme for Dutch youth and newcomers to The Netherlands, Sonja shared valuable insights on building bridges between communities.
Her talk centered on a powerful question: 'What can I do?'—showing how small acts can create meaningful change.
We’re deeply grateful to Sonja for inspiring our students and staff to contribute to a more just and inclusive world.
