Describe your approach to teaching
My teaching style is a mix of theory and practice: Learning the fundamentals of how campaigning works, where handicrafts can strengthen a protest, critiquing case studies and learning by doing.

What inspires your own work?
I believe that if we want our world to be more beautiful, kind and fair for all, then our activism should be more beautiful, kind and fair to all too.
