Recap: The common thread in one's life story often only becomes apparent in hindsight
On May 20, more than 120 TUD students spoke with speakers from the field of democracy advocacy about career paths in this area. One thing became clear: No one starts out with a perfect plan—and that’s okay! Career paths often only seem straightforward in hindsight.
👉 Listen to your gut and follow your heart.
Thanks to everyone who participated and to the John Dewey Research Center for their excellent moderation!
