United in Diversity
I grew up in the Alpe-Adria Region. The variety of languages and cultures in the heart of Europe made me realising early in my life that we need to cooperatore in order to achieve our goals. Understanding Europe and the cultural variety can allow us to see what we have in common instead of what is dividing us. To change this perspective is my goal: Bringing Europe close to you.
Milestones
I was born in the Southern part of Austria, close to the border with Italy and Slovenia. Coming from a family with roots all over the region, I wanted to learn more about the region and Europe. And I found a true companion on my journey through Europe: The European Union, that gives us citizens amazing opportunities to grow and develop – on individual and collective level.

EU Project Management
European funding is an interesting way to work together on the future of Europe. In past years, I have been managing several projects for various organisations, a selection can be found down.
European identity
To shape Europe’s future it is necessary to understand its past. With my expertise in European Remembrance Politics I try to contribute that history does not repeat itself.
European citizenship
Education is the key to a prosperous future for all Europe. Through my education work I try to convince citizens on the importance to get active and to understand Europe and the EU.
