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 spring 2013. Since then I try to follow the facebook group and other sites. Whenever I can I join the Innsbrucker Salon and similar events.

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)

Happily I took part in a big pro action café that was offered for co-workers of SOS Children's Villages in the field of fundraising. Furthermore I had the chance to co-host an event for mayors recently. The title of the event was "Ways out of the crisis regarding homes for asylum seekers in Austria". Soon I will participate in "The art of harvesting" training in Vienna. Looking forward to it!

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?

I am mainly hosting training workshops for co-workers of the worldwide SOS Children's Villages federation.

Where do you live/work?

Innsbruck, I work at the SOS Children's Villages Hermann Gmeiner Academy

Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?

I love many kinds of outdoor sports and nature is my main resource for relaxation. I like yoga and many aspects around it. Currently I am extremely touched and caught by the fate of so many people from Africa and Middle East. I wonder how Europe goes on with this issue. Overall: justice and equality are topics of high interest to me - or rather: How can we create more equal chances for all?
