A tender guide | meeting with Natalia de Barbaro

Where can we draw inner strength from? How do we take care of ourselves and balance our development/work with our family or our own well-being? How to be a leader and act for others without losing ourselves in the process?

We will talk about all this with Natalia de Barbaro, during a meeting that is part of the Festival of Forgotten Cultures. Builders – herstories of courageous women telling about social leaders from small towns in our region. We will try to find together the answer to the question of how to combine courage with self-affection.
