Descripción

I'm a friendly, creative person with a passion for connecting with people and stories (www.helenpatuck-cc.com). I really like to help people turn their dreams into reality and find their voices. I've spent the last ten years working with communities affected by war in the Middle East, the Caucasus, Europe and the UK. I find the ways in which people heal and rebuild their lives really inspiring. I love animals, forests, gardens and being outside so getting closer to nature is a big goal, and learning how people live with the land!

I love languages. I have a degree in English Literature and am qualified to teach ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages). I write and teach creative writing internationally with my non-profit organisation, Kitabna, which means "our book" in Arabic (www.kitabna.org) and my consultancy to the UN and other humanitarian organisations (www.helenpatuck-cc.com). I have also been teaching English to refugees in my community in England for two years. I began learning French in Switzerland in 2012, and started learning Arabic in Lebanon 2014. I have been speaking French and Arabic for 10 years, and started learning Polish two years ago.

Algo más...

I really love swimming outside and exploring forests and local stories. I enjoy discovering the ecologies of different places. I like card games and play music in a band, and on my own. I enjoy songwriting, with piano and baritone ukulele. I really enjoy discovering local histories, especially histories of peacebuilding, resistance movements, women's histories, and LGBTQ+ communities.

I am sensitive to loud noise, so will prefer to be in a quiet place.
