Our experts

A training is only as valuable as the people who bring it to life.

The Marcel Hicter Foundation works with a European network of experts: cultural professionals, researchers, trainers, and heads of institutions or networks. They come from diverse backgrounds but share a common commitment: delivering living knowledge, rooted in practice and open to cooperation.

Each cohort benefits from a tailor-made team, selected according to the themes, participant profiles and context. No fixed list — a constellation of adaptable experts.

“En tant que formatrice, j’apprends autant que je transmets. Ces sessions sont de véritables laboratoires d’intelligence collective.”
— Lisbeth van der Auwera, intervenante DE 2017
