About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go to Toulouse, learn to climb, have fun!

ABOUT ME

I'm from Sweden but I've been living in France to and from for the last six years... I've studies development studies and is specialising in gender.

I come from the southern parts of Sweden (Skåne), where my familj live. I try to go back a couple of times a year to meet friends and family. I studied at Lund University.

In France my hometown is Lyon, where I came six years ago to be a volunteer (volontariat civil) at an organisation called Unis Cité. I've also studied in Besançon for one year.

I did an internship in a cameroonian NGO in Yaoundé where I worked with young people and studied young womens' participation in local youth groups.

I've voluntered in several Fair Trade-organisations, in Sweden and in France.
