I have a diverse background with four main pillars: 1. General pedagogy with a special focus on Bildung (edification, danning) in multi disciplinary, multicultural and multireligious contexts. 2. Philosophical practice and wisdom oriented pedagogy with a focus on reflective dialogue in groups. 3. Preventive pedagogical and mental health work with a focus on communication and relations, with a special interest in reconciliation processes. 4- Physical activity and health promotion with a focus on group training. I have developed the Dialogos approach to wisdom oriented pedagogy (2004- ), and have done extensive action- and reflective practice research in educational contexts.
