Shalom,

Thank you for the clarification, it is always welcome
I am a MA student in Government (reaching from Diplomacy, Conflict Resolution, to Counter-terrorism). Joining our discussion is easy. Just look at the different categories and respond to posts of others, or begin a new discussion that you think is missing. We are happy to hear your insights on everything from post-genocide to personal reflections, or from post-conflict reconstruction to Rwanda's take on the World Cup.
Just feel welcome and engage into the discussion and write what is on your mind and heart.

Welcome

Micha

hello Adelite!
Nice to meet you and welcome on board...
We are now in the middle of our exam period, which is why you will find us to be quite silent for the moment...
However, I am sure many will be very interested in hearing your points of view on the different subjects that have been discussed so far, I certainly would!
You can find our groups latest entries under the "personal reflections" heading" where each of us had to write a personal and a more general story on events that were life-changing.
In the words, this is the situation for now... all should become more available again from July!
Enjoy the read.
Waiting to hear from you.
Alex

Hi Adelite,

Welcome to the blog, it is nice to have you!

Thank you for clarifying your name to us! Yes, Rwandan names can be sometimes confusing. But also Hebrew names are sometimes confusing. My name is Tali, which is a very common female name in Israel. I am originally from Germany but have been living in Israel for almost 4 years. I am currently studying an MA in Government with a specialization in Diplomacy and Conflict Studies.

When you look through the different posts of the "Get Acquainted" section, then you can see that many of us described the meaning of our name and how our parents decided to give us our name. What does your name mean?
And also may be you could tell us a bit about your work? It sounds really interesting to me!

All the best,
Tali
