Profile Information
- How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?
- My first Art of Hosting training took place in Innsbruck in April 2014. I was attracted by the need to understand Storytelling well as I was responsible for an international Knowledge Sharing Workshop back then.
- Tell us about your experience with Art of Hosting as part of your life and work. What would you say your competence in it is? (new, starting practitioner, experienced practitioner, steward)
- Meanwhile I am an experienced practitioner. I hosted various international workplace learning sessions and participatory workshops at SOS Children's Villages, an INGO that cares for the rights of children who have lost parental care or are at risk of losing it. Besides that I had the chance to co-host an event for mayors in the refugee crises in 2015. The title of the event was "Ways out of the crisis regarding homes for asylum seekers in Austria". I attended an "The art of harvesting" training in Vienna in 2015.
- What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?
- I was mainly hosting international knowledge sharing workshops applying Appreciative Inquiry and Storytelling as well as Pro Action Café. Furthermore, I facilitated trainings of Learning & Development facilitators, people who trained caregivers of children in the above mentioned organisation. These trainings took place partly online and onsite in the regions West- and Central Africa and East- and Southern Africa. The participants came from these regions.
- Where do you live/work?
- Innsbruck, I am an independent consultant and facilitator
- Would you like to share a web address?
- http://www.irenegleirscher.com
- Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?
- I love many kinds of outdoor sports and nature is my main resource of recreation. I love yoga and the way of living connected to it.
Overall: justice and equal chances independent of power, background, race, gender etc are topics of high interest to me - or rather: How can we create equal chances for particiaption?
Harvesting Knowledge Sharing Workshops – took place yearly from 2012 to 2023. Target group were long-standing employees of SOS Children’s Villages International.

Hi Irene,
Sounds very strange with your image uploading problems. My best advice is to try later, or use a different browser. Sometimes ning can be acting somewhat strange. - Let me know if you keep having problems and I will contact the ning team.
Best!
Hello Irene. Hmmm, I'm not sure what to say. jgp usually works and I haven't known of others having problems downloading a photo. I'll convey your message to our talented webmaster, Rowan, and see if there's something he can do. We'll get it figured out!
Hello, Irene, and welcome to the Art of Hosting community! Glad to see you here. Post a photo when you can so we can really "see" you here. Then join in with all the conversations. You'll find plenty of resources here, too, to help you deepen your practice. And the more you add to your profile, the more the community can learn from you and share with you. We hope you will find value in exchanging in this virtual community!
