I am an artist, educator and cultural anthropologist from Munich, Germany. I love to create music & films, travel to foreign places and work with children and youth. My mission is to give especially underprivileged or marginalized young people a voice and empower them through art & music. I already did successful projects in rural East Africa, in the Amazon jungle, in refugee camps in the Sahara desert, in favelas in South America and with refugees in Europe. I really love challenges and am always interested in new projects.

Interests

Lass dich fallen
Lerne Schlangen zu beobachten
Pflanze unmögliche Gärten
Lade jemanden Gefährlichen zum Tee ein
Mache kleine Gesten
Werde ein Freund von Freiheit und Unsicherheit
Freue dich auf Träume
Weine bei Kinofilmen
Tu Dinge aus Liebe
Mach eine Menge Nickerchen
Gib Geld weiter
Mach es jetzt
Glaube an Zauberei
Lache eine Menge
Nimm Kinder ernst
Bade im Mondlicht
Lies jeden Tag
Stell dir vor, du wärst verzaubert
Höre alten Leuten zu
Freue dich
Lass die Angst fallen
Unterhalte das Kind in dir
Umarme Bäume
Schreibe Liebesbriefe
Lebe
