Capturing Moments of Impact: Documenting FPI's Global Engagement at the Paris Peace Forum

FPI Mission 1: Paris Peace Forum

I'm excited to share a snippet from my recent lens adventure at the Paris Peace Forum, where I had the privilege of working with Stantec by documenting the European Commission's Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI).

Three services provided:

1. During the Paris Peace Forum I captured the event by providing live reporting videos for FPI to share while the event was still happening.
2. From the filmed materials we created the four videos below to wrap up the event as well as presenting three projects.
   
3. At the same time I took and delivered 100 pictures.

Filming and meeting Legends

What added a special touch were the encounters with inspiring leaders like Jacinda Ardern and Oleksandra Matviichuk.

Meeting Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, was a highlight. Her leadership style, seamlessly balancing the demands of public service and personal life, left a lasting impression. It's not every day you come across a leader so grounded and inspiring.

Engaging in conversation with Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 2022, was an enlightening experience. During our interview conducted by Gilles Gasser we delved into the pivotal role of women in conflicts, shedding light on perspectives that often go unnoticed. ​
