What’s my job?
I like organizing and communicating and I try to balnce my various activities. When I am not working as a project collaborator for a non-profit company, I hold workshops and lectures as a freelance media educator and as a “Safer Internet” ambassador. In addition, I am committed to the initiative “Medienbildung Jetzt!” and the online journal medienimpulse.at.
Why am I involved with the FROG?
Playing, learning and having fun are inseparably interwoven for me. As a media pedagogue and employee in the media impulses, I am especially pleased to be able to organize a panel this year.
Alltime favourite videogame?
My first favorite video game was “Prince of Persia”, apart from Pac-Man. At the moment, I do not get much to play with, so I am all the more pleased to be informed about the latest findings in game research.
