Positioning

When communication becomes a strategic factor.

Political debates, public controversies and sensitive decisions demand more than well-chosen words. It is about setting positions clearly, recognising frames, developing narratives – and not leaving your own interpretation to others.

Language constructs. Whoever sets the frame of interpretation shapes political reality.

Profile

Safaa Mohajeri analyses political communication, framing and interpretive authority in national and international spaces of discourse where language has consequences.

Her path began in 2006 in the Richardkiez neighbourhood of Berlin. There she coordinated the District Mothers, a model project that received the Metropolis Award in 2008. At TU Berlin and the inter 3 institute she then spent 13 years in research and development projects — funded by the BMBF, BMAS, BBSR and the ESF — on migration, diversity and participation. Expert talks took her to Berlin, Zurich and Copenhagen.

In the Master's programme in Speech Communication and Rhetoric at the University of Regensburg she developed a model of institutional interpretive authority. Her professional foundation: a diploma as a media consultant (TU Berlin) with advanced study in law (FU Berlin).

Today she combines rhetorical precision, political sensitivity and discourse-analytical rigour in advising leaders, institutions and actors from politics, civil society and activism.

Safaa — means clarity in Arabic. Thinking precisely, communicating strategically and creating orientation in complex situations.

Clarity begins with the frame.
