Available to hire
I am Prince Adeola Owolabi, a Geneva-based professional with a background in international relations, law, and human rights. I have led UN Volunteers on green energy initiatives spanning 33 countries, collaborated with ministries of education to weave green energy topics into curricula, and conducted research on helmet safety and greener travel options. I enjoy bridging policy, education, and community engagement to drive practical, impactful outcomes.
I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Political Legal Economic Philosophy at the University of Bern, after earning BAs in International Relations and a LL.B. from Near East University. My experience as a research assistant, intern, and volunteer with UN agencies and NGOs has sharpened my skills in research, advocacy, and project coordination, and I am passionate about mentoring youth and building networks to advance human rights and sustainable development.
