Mayra comes from Italy, where she’s going to complete a BA in economic development, international cooperation and conflict management. Five years working in an accountancy office as an accounting clerk enabled her to increase her personal management skills, and increased her awareness of the dynamics of bureaucratic businesses. Her extensive travelling experiences in Europe and East Europe, and the fact that she was born in Per— and raised in Italy, has offered her many opportunities to adapt to new environments. She has learned how important it is to be flexible and make use of her own resources, and believe in the trust among people. As a volunteer she organized many events to increase public awareness with associations like Greenpeace and Senzatomica.
Last summer she worked for an intercultural project in North India helping children with math, arts, English and exchanging culture with them, in a school in Dharamshala. These experiences and her studies re-affirmed her interest in the field of human rights and conflict management. In this moment she’s preparing a bachelor thesis about the prevention and protection of human rights and she’s sure that the experience with HisR will help her to put into practice what she has learned in her accademic studies.
