I'am a mother of 2 girls, Portuguese, living in Brussels since so long...
I stepped in 'Transition' in 2010 as I stepped out of a job as political adviser in one of the EU institutions.
You might know me as being part of the staff of Transition Network (that one who is always knitting!), holding various roles, but my most prominent one has been the international Hubs Coordinator.
I feel absolutely passionate about my job, particularly the part of exploring with people all over the world how to develop the social infrastructure, collaborative culture and new forms of leadership capable of supporting a distributed movement for social change. I still act as a bridge between Transition Network and the EU (and other Brussels-based organisations).
I was a co-founder of a Transition Initiative (now inactive) in Portalegre, Portugal and initiator of AJUDADA, an experimental community empowerment international event, under the theme of gift economy.
