TRAINER
DESCRIPTION:
I started my trainership journey in 2017, when I joined two international projects that allowed me to learn and get experience in creating, leading and facilitating workshops for either young or adult groups of people in an intercultural group of activists and trainers from five countries. Since then, I mostly trained within the Ljubljana Pride’s pool of trainers and implemented several workshops, trainings and study visits. I am most skilled in the topics of LGBTIQ+ rights, intersectionality, discrimination and hate speech transformation, anti bullying, youth participation in politics, and storytelling for activism.
