Last month, the UNESCO Team were excited to finally meet in person with one of our members, Dr Valentina Baú. Dr. Baú is an Associate Researcher to the Chair based at Western Sydney University. Her work focuses on the use of development communication in peacebuilding and humanitarian contexts. Most recently, Dr. Baú has been undertaking research with youth in Kenya and Jordan.
Valentina has worked in different African countries, Asia and the Middle East, and collaborated with international development and humanitarian agencies including UNICEF, UNDP, UNHCR, Search for Common Ground, Mercy Corps, FilmAid and the Italian Development Cooperation. She was a Visiting Fellow at the Migration Policy Centre of Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Study, European University Institute (EUI), Italy; and a Visiting Senior Research Fellow at UNICEF Innocenti – Global Office of Research and Foresight, Italy.
The Team met and shared updates on their work and plans for the future.
