Alice de Moraes Amorim Vogas | Brazil

2020/2021 Fellow | Office of MdB Lisa Badum (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), German Bundestag | Berlin

The fellowship was very important for me to enable my professional development as a global climate politics expert and not a Brazilian expert only. Based on the relationships I developed because of the fellowship itself and due to opportunities that emerged while I was leaving in Germany I’ve managed to get an international job right after the fellowship ended and now, upon my return to Brazil, I accepted an invitation to go back to the organisation I used to work before the Fellowship, but promoted to a position of Partnership Director. I continue to stablish a good relationship with my host and the work in my research topic continues to evolve, even though not in an academic fashion. My personal life has also changed, my daughter became fluent in German and had developed a strong bond with German culture and life. I will be forever thankful for this opportunity.
