Work experience
Much of my work centres around capacity development and discovery and builds on the principles of human rights education. European citizenship is one important thematic focus of my work, in particular in relation to disadvantaged and disabled young people. Other significant aspects include media, press and public relations as well as LGBT issues. Together with a small group of colleagues, I blog about my work at www.nonformality.org.
Here are some examples of recent work:
- online learning development for the M.A. European Youth Studies
- contribution to glossary development of the European Knowledge Centre for Youth Policy
- member of the research team of the Learning to Learn Project of UNIQUE
- evaluation of civil society funding programme in the Balkans
- team coordinator for the European Science Parliament
- editor of several books and publications in our fields of work
- youth policy advisory for several municipalities
- pedagogical advisor for large-scale innovative projects on working with disadvantaged and disabled youth
- training coordinator and team coach for the European Youth Media Days
- long-term organisational development for the German Youth Press
- evaluation of a pilot course for the Council of Europe's Directorate of Youth and Sports
- European citizenship network trainings for several National Agencies of the «Youth in Action» Programme.

Educational pathway
My formal education was mainly important because it opened my eyes and impressively showed me how important non-formal education is.
My non-formal education started in my local school student organisation and was strongly influenced by the philosophy of the Council of Europe's youth sector.
What I like most about non-formal education is that you never stop learning. Every new project teaches you something different - life-long learning at its best!
