De kracht van echt luisteren | Marieke Lips | TEDxAmstelveen

Do you have any idea how many children are affected by divorce every year? In the Netherlands, this number is approximately 70,000. She not only tells her story but also shares her dream about how things could be different. What happens if we "listen to children to understand" instead of "listen to answer"? Marieke Lips supports children and their parents in divorce situations. She is a lawyer by profession, trained as a Special Guardian in Juvenile Affairs, Child Advocate, developer of the Child Advocate job profile, SCHIP facilitator, trained in systemic work, and a trainer herself. Marieke dedicates herself from the heart, with passion and professionalism, to the position of children and their rights. In doing so, she also supports parents, whether jointly or separately. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
