Level 2: Lead Trainer / Facilitator

In 1998 Friederike Birkle was trained through CEJI, a Jewish Contribution to an inclusive Europe, to be a peer trainer with the A World of Difference Programme© by the Anti-Defamation League. She therefore belongs to the second generation of European peer trainers using this method.

Ever since then, she has been active as a youth leader and peer educator on national and European level, first through CEJI, later through CEJI’s youth department that has become independent in 2008 and is now called EPTO- the European Peer Training Organization.

Born in France in 1983, Kévin is currently living in Belgium and working in Luxembourg. He is a managing director of 4motion, a luxembourgish educational NGO which develops pedagogical tools, provides awareness-raising activities and trainings aimed at challenging stereotypes and prejudices, fighting against exclusion and discrimination, and at promoting civic participation. Peer trainer in the field of diversity and anti-discrimination for more than 5 years, Kévin is also vice-secretary of the European Peer Training Organisation (EPTO, Belgium).

Having completed a degree in Town and Country Planning at Leeds, I worked for Durham County Council in economic development and regeneration. Whilst there I completed a Master in Business Administration (MBA) at Sunderland Business School. I then went to Shaw Trust as Area Manager for the North East, assisting people with disabilities into work.  I was then North East Regional Director for the Novas Scarman Group assisting 'Can Doers' to take their first steps into being active citizens.
