Laura Gazzotti
Having a MA in Arts from the University of Helsinki and a degree in Educational Sciences specialized in non-formal education by the University of Buenos Aires, I am expert in process-based cultural production development focused on diversity and children's culture sector. I build intercultural, interdisciplinary, intergenerational and multilingual spaces and events around children´s culture and diversity for children and their families with different backgrounds and origins as well for professional audiences.
After I graduated in 2004, I have been working as a freelance cultural producer in Helsinki, specializing in creating events that promote inclusion, mutual understanding, equal treatment and respect from early ages in cultural centers and public libraries in Helsinki and the metropolitan area.
