It has transformed from an organization predominantly deploying legal tools into a social change organization that supports grassroots movements and civil society organizations with the aim of inspiring hope in democracy. Their topics range from everyday problems, such as access to social services, labour rights to civil liberties, freedom of protest and speech. Furthermore, under Stefania’s leadership the organization focused on narrative building on active citizenship and the power of rights for change to mobilize and motivate citizens. Stefania is currently an Obama Foundation Scholar at Columbia University. She plans to use her time in the Scholars program to increase her organization’s capacity to build consensus across lines of difference and leverage storytelling tools to bring about a belief in the possibility of change in Hungary and across the world.
