Steering Committee

Georg, born in 1987 near the Polish Solidarnosc city of Gdansk, is the Director of our Berlin Hub, which primarily runs the School of Transnational Organizing providing a space for education and training on movement building, transformative organizing, and popular education for grassroots campaigners, migrant workers, union organizers, climate justice activists and many more seeking for skills and tools to build the next generation of movements and organisations.

He is a psychologist by training and has been working for several years as a documentary theatermaker, before turning to political organizing and grassroots education with progressive movements, trade unions, and civil society organizations. Because of his own family history, his focus is on organizing workers, migrants, and their communities on the frontlines.

Before joining European Alternatives in early 2021, he worked as Artistic-Pedagogical Director of the Academy of the Arts of the World/Cologne from 2014 to 2016 and initiated the SCHOOL OF POLITICAL HOPE as a place for citizens, communities, and civil society actors seeking inspiration, empowerment, and support to overcome our feeling of powerlessness and revive the lost art of organizing solidarity.
