ORGANISERS

Izabela Sojewska

PROJECT COORDINATOR

In the Project, she deals with organizational aspects – primarily team management, strategy, documentation, contact with experts, partners and the media, establishing cooperation, organizing training and meetings, running social media, recruiting volunteers and preparing the content of promotional materials.

She plans everything so thoroughly that the team members are not sure if they can choose what they want to eat for breakfast. Enthusiast of moth-eaten clothes, berets, picnics, mythology, cinnamon, organizing other people’s lives and getting irritated for no reason.

Planuje wszystko tak szczegółowo, że członkowie Zespołu nie są pewni czy mogą sami wybrać, co chcą zjeść na śniadanie. Entuzjastka ubrań zjedzonych przez mole, beretów, pikników, mitologii, cynamonu, organizowania innym życia oraz irytowania się bez powodu.
