Summer 2012 I was wondering what my purpose is, and set an intention to spend the rest of my life travelling the world spreading happiness. This based on work in happiness field since 2006. Alongside this, to make it sustainable, I am a multi project manager and offer happiness coaching, strategy mentoring and English training.
One of my passions is EDUCATION and I am steadily moving in that area to create more access to affordable exciting blended learning by combining access to internet based education and a network of fantastic trainers ( under the branding The Learning Street – ” building community based education on the street” ). I had an early experience in Moedling, happiest city on earth, setting up a library and computer room. Vision now is remotely managed popup and permanent learning rooms with access to a lifelong learning portal for members / with a lifelong personal learning mentor for members too.
I launched Women with Passion in 2004 to promote women with passion as role models for others, announcing it in Das Trieste one evening two weeks before the event to a room full of IT Women. IT Salon pour elle. At announcement I had no venue, no panel and no audience... The date came first and all the rest followed, in two weeks. One of the highlights of my short life. Thanks go to Petra Scherr Lydia Goutas Selma ProdanovicDeborah WalkerCaterina Saraceno and all the others who came and supported. Also to Hans F. one of the inspirations that led me to focus on Passion.

We are a team that believes in being nice, working hard and having fun. We are deeply committed to fostering the creative talents of every child, everywhere.
A Vision for Kids and Communities in the 21st Century
We imagine a world where creativity and entrepreneurship are core social values nurtured in schools, homes and communities everywhere, where all children are taught to be creative thinkers and doers, and encouraged to make their very best ideas happen.
Our Mission
The mission of Imagination.org is to find, foster and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in children around the world to raise a new generation of innovators and problem solvers who have the tools they need to build the world they imagine.
We were born out of the overwhelming global success of the short film, ‘Caine’s Arcade’. The film launched a movement to celebrate the natural creative talents of every child, and Imagination.org was created to grow and sustain this movement.
It’s a sweet story that brings viewers back to a time of potent imagination and creativity.
