My name is Michelle Sainz Mariscal and I am a student of Communications in Mexico at the Universidad Iberoamericana. I am passionate about storytelling and people. And I believe that through creative projects one can ignite and inspire others to make contributions of their own. therefore creating a better environment where participation is the supporting ground.
I enjoy the arts and have participated in clowning interventions with the Gesundheit! Institute of Patch Adams and School for Designing a Society. Both of these have taught me that collaboration and creativity are key elements in the development of any project. I am still uncertain on which field of study I will pursue, but I think that the opportunity to participate in the Salzburg Academy on Media & Global Change will open my eyes and enable me to choose an area where I will be able to influence positively the society we live in. Even though it may sound romantic, I do believe that each person can contribute through their own passion and I hope to do so as soon as possible.
