“Whenever I work in schools, I’m constantly surprised when students express that they don’t feel ownership over the culture of their country. It has become one of the driving forces of my education projects; to transform that feeling of exclusion into a sense of entitlement and to blast open the doors of art, performance and creativity for each and every student.”
