------------------------

My personal observations, which are reflected in my work, relate to goal 17 concerning creating relationships between different actors. I believe that only when we take the time and commitment to understand ourselves and accept the diversity of needs and hear each other will we create a better future based on empathy and mature leadership.

A lot of work in this sector should be devoted to awareness-raising and creating opportunities for dialog. Privately, I organize meetings for people from my environment who are involved in various sectors to exchange their observations on what can be improved in society.

There are two priorities in my understanding: research and holistic approach. Based on that we can create positive change and improve the existing situation. Firstly - understanding, secondly - required action. We already know the negative impacts of misunderstanding and misleading actions.
