  Gorichka: environmental NGO

  Feb 2008 - Feb 2015

  Manager

  In the business of making people feel engaged and passionate about environment, life, positive examples and togetherness. Achieved it through articles, partnerships, book publishing, exhibitions, film festivals, trainings, large events, smaller events, facilitation and curation. We asked the hard questions and went looking for answers that give perspective, challenge stereotypes, present otherness, alternatives and focus on change and leadership. I was part of all processes including creative, operational, strategic and development and acquired many skills on the go, proving that when there is a greater cause, you pull through at the drop of a hat.
