Bio

I am a youth advocate passionate about children’s rights, youth participation, climate action and democracy. I have been involved in local, national and international youth initiatives, working to make young people’s voices heard and turn their ideas into meaningful action. I am a lifelong believer in the power of young voices.

I'm passionate about

I’m passionate about languages, arts, sports, and youth advocacy. I speak English and German, and I have competed in swimming and gymnastics. I have also had the opportunity to show my artwork in art exhibitions. Beyond my creative and athletic interests, for several years I have been taking a part in in national and international platforms focused on children’s rights, climate action, youth participation, and shaping the future we want to live in; I am still a part of it.

An idea worth spreading

I believe different ideas can inspire different people to take action, and the ideas I find worth spreading are those that remind young people that their voices matter, their ideas have value, and their perspectives have the power to shape the future.

The TED story

I started watching TED because I liked the idea of sharing ideas that are worth spreading. I wanted to be a part of this world instead of just watching, so I joined the organizing team. I already had some experience in organizing events, and I wanted to learn more, meet new people, and improve myself through TEDx.

Things you might not know

There isn’t really something people don’t know I’m good at, because I enjoy learning the things I love and teaching them to people who might love them too. I believe that life is not only about learning, but also about sharing what we know. Teaching doesn’t take anything away from us; I think it gives us so much more
