I’m interested in ideas and platforms that bring together young people from other backgrounds to create positive change across communities. Over the past few years I’ve been part of programmes, mostly through TCFT, that allow young people to explore new ways of expressing themselves and consider new ways of living together.

Since 2013, I’ve been part of policy initiatives and forums on an EU level advocating for more inclusive practices in policy making and education. In January 2020, I will begin a two year term at the Council of Europe’s advisory council responsible for youth policy and funding.

While at University in the UK, studying Arabic & Middle Eastern Studies, I was part of the beginning of IZAZOV’s overarching project called Changing The Story (LINK), leading filmmaking workshops in South Africa. This time I’ve been taking part in workshops, developing my understanding of how to build a compelling narrative that reflects the realities of individuals through documentary filmmaking.
