With my intercultural mindset and diverse academic background, I am a youth enthusiast with a firm belief that any community can change, only when its youth is empowered and included in the centre of any action. Thanks to my long experience in youth work in Europe and Africa, and thanks to my studies and masters in political science and security studies, I apply a comprehensive multicultural approach in all my activities. All my trainings are based on participatory, reciprocal, and emancipatory methods that create impact and change.
“EVERY STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, HOWEVER SMALL, CAN MAKE A BIG CHANGE AND CREATE IMPACT!”
