Fia loves to design and facilitate creative and participatory processes and hold spaces to reflect, explore and connect with others on a deeper level.
She has been working in the international development sector at the intersection of research and programme work for over ten years with Restless Development, IDS, Intrac, Womankind Worldwide, Eris and the Chorotega indigenous rights group, specialising in participatory processes, youth leadership and organisational learning. Her background is in conveying the meaningful participation of young people in development and political processes. She’s passionate about supporting youth and feminist movements with their internal organising, partnerships and ambitions.
Fia brings creative techniques such as storytelling, movement and theatre into her facilitation practice. She is a contemporary dancer and has a deep fascination and endless energy when it comes to any style of dance. Her dream is to bring her dance and artistic practice even more into her work as a researcher and facilitator to impulse social change through artistic co-creations.
