About

I'm a trainer in "peacebuilding from below", which includes skills in analysing, understanding and responding to conflict, and organising and campaigning/ advocating nonviolently for your cause. I'm the author of The Peace Compass (2024) and co-author of the Study Guide "Engaging Nonviolence. Activiating Nonviolent Change in Our Lives and Our World" (2019) together with Veronica Pelicaric, published by Pace e Bene. The Peace Compass provides readers directions for working on peace on the personal, interpersonal, social-cultural and environmental levels. The Study Guide is a book mostly for facilitators who want to implement Peace Education.
I've been a trainer since 2015, mostly working on training for youth workers with the Erasmus+ financing. I started in 2014, when I contacted a Dutch NGO to support me in applying for funding and organised and implement my own training program in 2015. I've been responsible for these trainings from start to finish, including designed the content of the program and delivered it, with different co-trainers. You can read more on my website: www.peace-power.org.

About myself: I'm curious, creative, analytic, open-minded, perseverant, both idealistic and pragmatic, independent yet social, and always looking for opportunities to learn and develop.

I have two master degrees: Global Studies (2011-13) and Conflict Resolution and Governance (2006-7). To read more about my work experience please have a look at my LinkedIn profile. I have experience in facilitating workshops, and project management, in six different countries, including Palestine/Israel. I was born and raised in The Netherlands and live in Greece.
