Coach:
(Psychopedagogue with migration experience)
Being able to connect positively with our new role as international students is a matter close to my heart, as it also has to do with my own story. I was born in Argentina, have a degree in psychopedagogy and have been living in Freiburg for more than 11 years. For a long time after my transoceanic move, I felt here strange and lost. I was trying hard to fit in, since I thought that “being different” only brought disadvantages. I´d experienced a strong identity crisis: Who am I here? Will I be accepted and approved one day? Can I be happy and successful in Germany? Do you also know the feeling? That's why we'll see each other in this workshop! To learn how to turn challenges into growth opportunities, discovering that our uniqueness is our greatest gift. Please bring curiosity, openness, a desire to exchange ideas and something to write with.
I am so looking forward to meeting you!
