I manage projects with civil society and grassroots initiatives in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine on topics such as remembrance, disinformation, European integration, and civil society action, and co-manage an NGO in Berlin. I hold a social sciences master's degree in Eastern European studies from Freie Universität Berlin and work at the intersection of participatory pedagogy, (historical-)political education, and translocal civil society cooperation.

2025 | Coordination of a summer school for young people from Moldova and Germany, commonly with our partners, incl. introductory workshops on climate action and project ideation. Our common starting point was the Moldovan village of Hîrtop in Cimișlia District, where the program was co-shaped with environmental initiatives, activists, and artists. In the former Soviet culture house Casa de Cultura, the two weeks became a hands-on space of exploring creative methods and activist practices, while learning about environmental crises and discussing their sociopolitical dimensions—the program was designed to be engaging and to stay engaged. A community gathering and an exhibition took place at the cultural initiatives space of Casa Zemstvei, Chișinău.

2025 | As part of our Georgian-Ukrainian youth education project to promote political education on European integration and the EU, I coordinated and facilitated a study trip to Berlin. Participants took part in hands-on media workshops, training by the Berlin School of Podcasting, and a workshop with photographer Jeremy Knowles, building their skills in storytelling, and digital media. Through guided tours at the parliament building, EUROPA EXPERIENCE exhibition, rbb broadcast studio, and the Berlin Wall Memorial, they explored Berlin, gaining insights into European democratic institutions, media landscapes, and (social) history.
