SKOV organises a seminar in cooperation with Ipso-Facto on global development cooperation issues.
On 27 November 2024 at 16.30 pm SKOV, in cooperation with study association Ipso-Facto, will organise an event with former Minister Jan Pronk, to be interviewed by dr. Maarten Voors.
During the interview there will be reflections on the book ‘Kijk niet weg,’ (Do not look away), written by dr. Ellen Mangnus and published earlier this year. This book is a result of many conversations Ellen Mangnus had with Jan Pronk.
