Simon Kläntschi and Landmine Survivor's Network - Vietnam
Sciences Po Paris and the University of St. Gallen
Simon Kläntschi will serve as an AP Peace Fellow in Dong Hoi, Vietnam, during the summer of 2010. He will work with the Landmine Survivors Network Vietnam (LSN-V), an NGO established in 2003 to help rehabilitate and integrate landmine survivors by providing economic opportunities and advocating for disability rights. During his fellowship, Simon will focus on supporting LSN-V to strengthen their advocacy strategies, both locally and internationally.
Simon is currently pursuing a dual Master’s degree in International Affairs at Sciences Po Paris and the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and he is specializing in International Security. Within this field, he is particularly interested in conflict resolution, community-based peace building and transitional justice. In addition, he holds a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from the University of Geneva. Before moving to Paris, Simon worked in Berlin for the Ecumenical Network for Central Africa, a joint lobbying network of five German Christian humanitarian organizations, whose mission is to advocate for the promotion of human rights and development in the Great Lakes Region. Prior to this, Simon was an intern at the Swiss Embassy in Bangkok, where he worked on political, cultural and economic issues in Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia. He also volunteered in a home for disabled children in Cuzco, Peru, where his tasks included teaching and physical therapy.
