I am an enthusiastic cultural manager and facilitator based in Bucharest, Romania. I am developing projects and research on topics related to cultural governance, cultural funding and the mainstreaming of culture in different areas, such as education and sustainable development. In 2012 I founded CubicMetre - resources for culture, an NGO based in Bucharest. You can check it out at www.m3culture.ro. I believe in the power of independent culture and I try to give it a voice and a more important role in the public cultural life, through advocacy and consultancy (from time to time).
