When asked why she joined the Building Global Democracy Programme and what her aspirations for the programme were, she replied:

"Wide scale and international in its character the‘Building Global Democracy’ project will help to examine if there are promising and effective means of eliminating economic, political and social inequality in the national and global arenas that are moved forward by civic initiatives and non-state actors. By revealing ways that are currently used by the excluded groups to express their interests in global politics and supra-national communication networks the workshop will contribute to their better public representation, evaluation and further dissemination."
