Held without charge for 14 years in what’s often described as the world’s most notorious prison, Mohamedou Ould Slahi survived torture and prolonged detention at Guantánamo Bay. Today, he speaks for peace. In this video report, we follow Slahi’s visit to the University of Groningen, where he shared his story with students and faculty;  confronting the legal, ethical, and human cost of counterterrorism policies. 

This audio feature, introduces the historical context of the Israel–Palestine conflict and explains how the two-state idea first emerged. It forms the opening chapter of a broader interactive project, which examines the promises and limitations of the two-state proposal through audio, maps, timelines, and text. Because the full project is interactive, it is hosted on a dedicated page.

As part of my cohort, we produced a full one-hour radio show from scratch. We coordinated the editorial agenda, contacted guests, conducted pre-interviews, scripted the rundown, and reported from the field. As a team, we handled live studio interviews, news packages, and sound-rich features, building the entire programme ourselves.
I co-present and co-anchor the second part of the show, in which I also interview guests live on air.
 My segment begins at 30:14.

Originally in the Netherlands for a youth coding competition, Dimitry found himself stranded when the war in Ukraine broke out. This short video portrait follows his quiet days working at a restaurant and studying in a Dutch town as he weighs an impossible decision: return to a country at war, or start over in exile. A story of interrupted ambition, displacement, and the unseen costs of conflict.

Christmas season in the Netherlands means one thing: the smell of speculaas and kruidnoten filling every bakery. These biscuits are celebrated as iconic Dutch traditions; but their signature flavors tell a very different story. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and the rest of the “speculaas mix” all originate from Indonesia and were brought to Europe through colonial trade, violence, and extraction. This audio piece looks at the sweet surface of Dutch holiday culture and uncovers the bitter historical aftertaste behind it. A light, atmospheric reflection to enjoy the season, while staying aware of the histories behind the spices we take for granted.

In the heart of Groningen stands one of the largest bars in Europe: The Three Sisters. With multiple screens broadcasting sports from around the world, from the Premier League to the NBA and Formula 1, it’s a go-to destination for fans.
