Kateřina Velíšková

I focus on humanitarian aid and migration. In my studies, I have mostly done interdisciplinary work studying other cultures and politics. I have a BA in Middle Eastern Studies from SOAS, University of London and an MA in Israel Studies: Politics and Society from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I’m currently pursuing one more graduate degree in Migration Studies at the University of Oxford. My work has mostly centred around the non-profit sector. I have worked in the educational department of People in Need, focusing on inclusive education in the Czech Republic. I have also worked in the humanitarian aid and development department of Caritas Czech Republic, coordinating projects in Georgia, Mongolia, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. I have served as the Acting Head of Mission for Caritas country office in Mongolia.
