“It‘s about understanding and embracing the role and responsibilities we have in addressing the climate crisis and daring to act accordingly. Creatively (and collectively) rethinking systems in a more inclusive and sustainable way allows us to open up new paths and to disclose alternative solutions.”

Combining transcultural music studies with international relations, Michelle has explored the role and potential of culture in international relations and cooperation from various perspectives, including several publications on the topic. She has worked for UNESCO in Paris, the Goethe-Institut in Nairobi and the European Commission as well as EUNIC in Brussels. Her profound interest in topics of human rights, gender and sustainability led within others to years of experience in working with refugees and active engagement for the climate.
