-> Volunteer / Trainer - Circus CABUWAZI
I studied international business, humanitarian and social work and geopolitics in France.
I had some working experiences in international companies and NGOs like Amnesty International in San Francisco where I worked for instance for non formal education tools for schools and universities.
As european volunteer in 2004 I came in Berlin to work with children and young people in Circus CABUWAZI. This experience has greatly fostered my knowledge of alternative, playful methods applied to the field of intercultural dialogue, the role of the body in the communication and the power of art to connect people.
Thanks to a cross-cultural trainer from Iran I discovered the field of the intercultural work during a seminar for European Voluntary Service in Weimar, in Germany, in 2005.
I worked and trained then with BAPOB e.V. (Berliner Arbeitskreis für politische Bildung - Berlin working group for civic education) one year long in Berlin to learn the different aspects of non-formal education and international projects.
Since 2006 I've been full-time freelance trainer and conference moderator. I am part of several networks of trainers like Salto or Play for Peace.
Identity, diversity, borders, history and memory, prejudices, invisible cultural differences (perception of time, space...), language inhibitions, migration ...
