Tanné Bogaerts

Communications & Campaign lead

Tanné recognises that society needs ways to help people from a variety of backgrounds engage with each other. So people become part of the solutions to their own problems, while gaining an understanding of each other along the way. At G1000, she turns that multivocality into clear communication.
