Yvonne Meyer

I work as a freelance cultural manager and trainer for start-ups in culture and creative industries. My academic studies comprised Theatre and Western Slavic languages.
In the years 2006–2009, I was a program manager within the Robert Bosch Cultural Manager program. For the Borussia Foundation in Olsztyn, Poland, I was responsible for the adaption of a Jewish Bet Tahara into the Centre of Intercultural Dialogue DOM MENDELSOHNA.
2014/2015 I was the head project manager for »Culture | place.positioning«, an international conference and festival by the independent cultural scene in Leipzig. Based on this I started to develop formats for thinking about interfaces of cultural politics and civic education.
I design and realize international projects in culture and education, whilst my special interests lie in cross-sector co-operations. In the framework of the RBCMN, beyond others, I initiated a series of international workshops for NGOs revitalizing and adapting unused spaces – »Structures | Spaces | Regions« (2013), »Open spaces – Culture, Economy, Administration« (2015), and »Open spaces – open society« (2016).
I live with my family in Leipzig.
