“If you can’t laugh at yourself, then you are missing the biggest joke of your life.” I came across this quote years ago and have tried to follow it ever since. It has become my motto in life and work.

I am currently on a free lance journey, working as a facilitator with international and local groups on topics connected with social and environmental justice, but specifically: - anti-discrimination (mainly in gender and LGBT+ topics, also for teachers and other trainers), - sex education for youth and women/trans, - WenDo - assertiveness and self defense for women and trans/nonbinary
