Experience

"problem based learning" was the main learning medium in my academic path. 10 to 15 students manage the pedagogy of the class themselves, appointing various roles including a chair and scribe, conducting the class through various steps including discussion, brainstorming and reporting. This setup enables the students to appropriate the study material as well as the pedagogical methods to approach it. Project Manager of Visages & Vérités at Unis-Cité Méditerranée, Avignon (Fr), 10.2017 - present >Designed, managed and animated a sociocultural project contributing to solidarity among urban and suburban residents. I animated workshops with youth and children from “disadvantaged” neighbourhoods, working with local photographers. By collecting phrases and photos in and around the city, collaborating with local organisations, and curating an exhibition in a public cultural centre (le Tri Postal d'Avignon). I have also been involved with the Theatre of Transformation Academy over the past years, an international organisation for peace and reconciliation through the pedagogy of arts and reconciliation associated with the University of Oxford and the UN in Geneva. For the Academy, I co-host events, manage the online content and communications strategy. I have also performed at their events. In addition I co-facilitated a peace mission to Palestine in November-December 2017. Masters graduate with pedagogical and communicative experience, fluent in French and English, i would love to help others with conversational and written English and French, also with understanding and discussing philosophy texts in these two languages, sharing my love for these disciplines.

Hobbies

I have a truly international mindset, having lived in many countries in the "developed" as well as the "developing" world. I have travelled to more than 30 countries in 4 continents and love discovering diverse peoples and cultures. This is also why i decided to study human sciences and intercultural communication. I believe cultures could learn so much more from one another, in order to build a better world. I am also a devout musician and poet, both english and french.
