Agnes Dinkelman
Founder of Stillare
Agnes chooses to address complex societal issues. She is a social engineer with a background in social sciences and mediation/negotiation. Her work for the Dutch National Police, the Dutch National Army and the Dutch Refugee Council provided her with a basis for security sensitivity. Within Stillare she combined her knowledge and experience in analysis, mediation, large scale psychology and change management. She works on approaches and methodology to improve societal resilience by human factor.
Key competence and main asset is her ability to operate in diffuse and complex circumstances and conflict situations while using mentality and worldview of the people involved. As a social engineer, she comes up with fresh interpretations and solutions. “My interventions have impact because they fit the mentality of the groups and individuals I work with. We make the interventions fit by a deep understanding of the communities we work in. We explore the political, historical, societal and large scale psychological DNA of the situation. Navigating through life circumstances and the current day to day situation we discover a mentality fitting approach.”
She was involved with the work of civil society and issues of community security in Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Liberia, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Yemen.
