Dorthe Davidsen Langås. Gift med Arngeir Langås, 1998. Arbejde som KFS-sekretær 1993-94. Medarbejder i Den Nordiske Kristne Buddhistmission, 1996-97. Læreruddannelse 1997-2001. Udsendt af Danmission til Zanzibar, 2002-10. Sammen med ægtefælle ansat i ELCT, Zanzibar distrikt, til et arbejde med fokus på at styrke de kristne-muslimske relationer og nedbryde fjendebilleder, opstået gennem mange års stridigheder. Dorthe Langås’ arbejde havde fokus på forholdet mellem kristne og muslimske kvinder. Hun har bl.a. startet Syskolen Upendo. Formålet er at give kvinder en uddannelse – øge muligheden for at tjene deres egne penge, forsørge deres børn og skabe sig en bedre fremtid. "Upendo" betyder kærlighed – fordi et andet mål med syskolen er at styrke kvinders fællesskab på tværs af religiøse skel. Desuden er syskolen en god ramme for samtaler og seminarer, om f.eks. AIDS og familieplanlægning. Her står kvinder sammen imod deres fælles problemer, i stedet for at fokusere på alt det, der skiller. Det er Dialog i Praksis! Siden 2010 er Dorthe Davidsen Langås ansat som projektkoordinator i Areopagos, Danmark. (Foto 2002) Dorthe Davidsen Langås. Married to Arngeir Langås, 1998. Worked as student secretary of KFS, 19

Description
Dorthe Davidsen Langås. Married to Arngeir Langås, 1998. Worked as student secretary of KFS, 1993-94. Later employed by Christian Mission to Buddhists, 1996-97. Teacher training, 1997-2001. Sent by Danmission to Zanzibar, 2002-10. Together with husband placed by ELCT in Zanzibar District, for working with improved Christian-Muslim relations and degrade the hostile images, created by lots of controversial issues for many years. The work of Dorthe Langås was focusing on relation between Christian and Muslim women, e.g. by starting the sewing school Upendo. The aim of this being to give women vocational training, in order to earn their own money, provide for the children and improve future lives of their families. "Upendo" means Love – as another aim of the school is to support women's fellowship, across religious divisions. Also Upendo is a good base for discussions and seminars about e.g. AIDS and family planning. Here the women stand together against their joint challenges – and may forget what is dividing. This is Dialogue in Practice! Since 2010 Dorthe Davidsen Langås is employed as project coordinator of Areopagos, Denmark. (Photo 2002).
