About me
Through facilitation I want to contribute to a sustainable world. I like to think of life as a hike. On this path, joining the scouts was an important step. It strengthened my connection to nature, to others and the belief that we can make a difference together. Currently, I'm working on education for sustainable development (ESD) at the Villa Fohrde educational house on the River Havel in Brandenburg, Germany. Furthermore, I am a member of an international facilitators’ network of the MitOst horizontal school, and am co-creating sustainable seminar spaces in Armenia and Georgia.
My skills
- sustainable management of educational spaces (whole institution approach)
- project design and management
- international co-creation and cooperation
- nature pedagogic
Why you should work with me
When designing and facilitating meaningful and green events I pay attention to:
- Really understand the needs of my client and develop a fitting concept
- Include head (science based impulses and methods), heart (emotional intelligence) hand (activities and involvement for change), pauses and nature
- walking the talk: sharing own examples, practices and green tools
- be authentic and sharing own experiences from international projects, working at different organizations and conferences
- the art of hosting (keep other aspects in the profile)
