ReD: 8 Years of Being Part of the World We Want

,
ReD is a community, a family full of dreamers, thinkers and learners from all walks of life who give freely of their time to see a change in their lifetime through a culture of dialogue. We look ahead to 2022 with the same lens of curiosity and determination that has brought us this far. The coming election might present a challenge or an opportunity for the peace process in Colombia. The new President and government might seek a new direction, support existing efforts or dismantle what has come before. Whatever the outcome, we have learnt not to stop in the face of adversity but to embrace what comes with honesty, generosity, solidarity, co-responsibility, self-criticism and respect.

Leyner meets all of these requirements.
