About

 

 

I am working as an independent professional in the areas of in the areas of applied political research, civic education, knowledge transfer, international cooperation and project management.

​

​

My academic background is political science. During my PhD, I specialised in European integration, and mainly researched non-member states of the European Union. Studying the case of Switzerland, I have profound knowledge of Swiss politics. Thanks to earlier research, practical work experience and language skills, I am also familiar with Eastern European politics (mainly Russia).

 

I am writing in different formats for a not-only academic audience, as I am convinced that experience and knowledge based on research is valuable for the political debate.

​

My writing languages are German and English.

​

​

An important focus of my professional activities lies on teaching and knowledge transfer.

I am facilitating workshops for different target groups from pupils to adult professionals and organising projects in the realm of civic education/ education for democracy. In my projects, I am striving to maintain a sound foundation in current research and a close contact to current challenges and needs in politics, society, and education.

I teach and facilitate workshops in German, English, Italian and Russian.

I conducted projects in Russia, the South Caucasus, Germany and Switzerland and have experience in communication, fundraising, conflict sensitive project management and collaboration in interdisciplinary teams.

​

I am a co-founder and member of the board of the Swiss non-profit organisation Demokrative - Initiative for civic education (ger. Demokrative - Initiative für politische Bildung).
