Trainer description<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

My journey as a trainer began in 2010, when I explored Theatre of the Oppressed in depth in Vienna. This developed into a diverse practice combining theatre, activism, and non-formal education. My journey deepened significantly through my experiences in Timor-Leste and Nepal, where I focused on gender and social justice. There, I expanded my knowledge in adult education and youth work and became a trainer in Playback Theatre, gender and social inclusion, conflict transformation, and dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning to Europe, my work focused on training in the areas of gender justice, inclusion, and peacebuilding with a range of organisations and in different countries. For example, I have worked with UN Women in Georgia and Azerbaijan, the American Bar Association in Timor-Leste, and the Austrian Red Cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe in the transformative potential of lifelong learning and unlearning, using an approach that creates inclusive and creative learning opportunities, combines theory and practice, and encourages personal and collective self-reflection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
