Carolin Diener

My name is Carolin Diener, and I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Hamburg, Germany. Empathy, solidarity, intersectionality, human connections and self-care are really important concepts to me.

I want to continue to build upon that work to impact structural change for a juster world.

From a young age, I have been committed to the safeguarding of Human Rights, which has made me grow.

Sarah-Maria

My name is Sarah-Maria, and I’m French with a Moroccan background. Currently a Master’s student in Geography, I’m also an advocate for climate and racial justice. The only way to achieve a fair ecological transition is to help each and every one to reclaim it, and that’s what I work for. “You cannot develop people. You must allow people to develop themselves.” – Julius Nyerere, former president of Tanzania.
