​​With my intercultural mindset and diverse academic background, I am a youth enthusiast with a firm belief that any community can change only when its youth is empowered and included in the centre of any action. Thanks to my long and practical experience in youth work in Europe and Africa, along with my two masters in political science and security studies, I apply a comprehensive multicultural human-centred approach in all my training and learning activities. All my trainings are also based on participatory, reciprocal, and emancipatory methods for social change.
