About this listen

 In this episode of Walk Talk Listen Filip Pedersen, senior political advisor at the Centre for Church-Based Development (CKU) in Denmark reflects on a life shaped by movement, service, and encounters across cultures — and how those experiences led him to work at the intersection of development, human rights, and freedom of religion or belief. The conversation explores why freedom of belief is often misunderstood, how it shows up in people’s daily lives, and why a rights-based approach matters for peaceful coexistence, democracy, and development. Drawing on concrete examples from communities and policy spaces alike, Filip speaks about moving beyond abstract dialogue toward accountability, inclusion, and action — and what keeps him hopeful when progress feels slow.
