Daan Savert, Graduated Master PTR

In 2015, I embarked on the journey called Peace, Trauma and Religion (PTR). PTR enabled me to delve deeper in the ambiguous role religion often plays in situations of violence, in the complexities around good and evil, and has deeply enriched my understanding of my own faith.

During my PTR years, I have worked with Christian Peacemaker Teams in Iraqi Kurdistan and with the Catholic Worker Movement in Amsterdam, operating on the intersection of the academic world and peace activism.

My PTR journey was finally rewarded in 2021 with a graduation but will, I am sure, continue for the rest of my life.
