Céline Dillmann

(she/her)

Germany, Switzerland

I am a professional in international cooperation and nature conservation with 9 years of work experience and have been a Facilitation Consultant for ChangemakerXchange and The Facilitators since 2023. My main focus is on multi-stakeholder dialogue, strategic planning, and systems-change workshops, bringing a systems-thinking approach to international cooperation processes.

Since 2014, I developed my facilitation competencies since 2014 through formal training as well as extensive on-the-job experience. Since 2018, I designed and facilitated multilingual workshops (French, English, Spanish, German) with diverse stakeholders, ranging from smallholder communities to high-level government representatives as well as students and a wider public, across West and Central Africa, Latin America and Europe. I also co-founded a consultancy using tailor-made strategy games to facilitate dialogue and strategic processes.

I would describe myself as curious, focused and friendly, able to quickly adapt to new topics and contexts.
