Gitte Kjær Petersen

My name is Gitte, I’m 20 years and study political science at University of Aarhus. I spend my spare time on scouting in the YMCA Scout organization and then I’m engaged in DUF’s project of Dialogue: Ambassadors for Dialogue.

Dialogue is built upon acknowledgement. I acknowledge that I don’t know everything, and I acknowledge the thoughts and meanings of any other person. When you enter a dialogue with people that you disagree with, you just don’t give up your own values and meanings – it’s misunderstood way to percept dialogue.

"Dialogue is not about convincing, but about sharing and exchange to gain more knowledge about each other"
