Entanglement
Together with Veronique Swinkels, and as representative of the young leaders, Lavinia facilitated an entanglement exercise for 300 participants in the room.

Speaking in Political Spheres
Since 2010, I have been active in the public speaking, especially in political spheres. On international, national, regional, and local levels
Furthermore, I also speak at conferences, e.g. during Earth Charter gatherings (upcoming in July 2025).
Trainings are given on this theme for environmental and youth groups, as well as for entrepreneurs, businesses, and financial institutions.
Public Speaking can be challenging, but worthwhile
