Porto - Portugal

My life motto is that of Ghandi “Be the change you want to see in the world.” I'm a mother  of three boys, I've attended the University of Minho in Portugal, where I graduated in international relations. I started my professional career as a journalist, having been the first general director of the National Association of Young Entrepreneurs. As a liberal professional, I was the executive coordinator of several events, including the first TED'X Porto and several national and international conferences. I have been a communications trainer for 20 years, as well as a social business consultant and mentor. Along this path, I built a solid network of contacts and experiences that allowed me to make connections that were often improbable, but always effective. Therefore, it is not surprising that I was one of the four founders of our company, K Social -Inovation Consultants, where I work to build partnerships, expand networking and as a institutional representant. I have always been a volunteer in various organizations. I believe deeply in civic activism and that small gestures can make a big difference.

Hi! My name is Luce, I'm French and currently living in Madrid. After working 15 years in large traditional corporations, mostly in Asia, I had a wake up call and broke from my old paradigm to discover new possibilities. I am now launching an educative project with a friend, in order to develop key Human skills (the famous "soft skills" that are not at all soft!!) for students. I have discovered the Regeneration movements, frameworks, communities ... and the Doughnut Economics, which have totally opened new perspectives for me.  I would like to connect more with the community, learn from other experiences and in particular in the Educational field. Thank you! Luce
