I am Ece, from Istanbul, Turkey. I have studied Psychology, -and loved it!-. After working in few different jobs and projects, now I am working at an NGO, in which the main focuses are children and youth at the disadvantaged communities, refugees, and trauma and psychosocial support.

I am sensitive about the issues happening around me, I have been in the feminist and lgbtqi movements for more than 8 years now.
I enjoy to read & discuss.
For me, to learn means to experience.
Mostly I'm an easy-going and a social one. I become friends easily.
I appreciate to meet with new people&cultures.
I think, replacing the "hate" within us with understanding & compassion is possible and the way to achieve this is to get to know the "other".
