ANJA SCHULLER-MÜLLER
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
I am responsible for the organization and management of IYM Dachau since 2023. Thanks to my degree in Classical Studies on the one hand and my many years of experience in memorial education on the other, I have a special focus on connections between past and present. My training as a cultural manager helps me to maintain an overview when communicating with organizations, teams, participants, partners and sponsors. I am convinced that there is no better way to dispel prejudices and develop mutual understanding than through personal encounters between people from different cultural, religious, linguistic or political backgrounds. In my work, it is also very important to me to raise awareness, especially among young people, of the ways in which dictatorships develop and that democracies are not self-sustaining, but must be actively shaped in order to survive.
Karla Steeb
ASSISTANT
Over the past three years, I have been able to support the International Youth Meeting Dachau as a team member. Before that, I was able to gain insights into the Dachau culture of remembrance through my voluntary service at the Evangelical Church of Reconciliation at the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial. After these experiences, I am very much looking forward to supporting the team and Anja in her role as project manager at the IYM 2024.
Vivi Tortunova
DIGITAL ASSISTANCE
I’ve finished the Social-Cultural Activity program in the Russian State Social University and now I’m working with middle school kids. I’ve became a part of the IYM team in 2021 after being a participant for three years in a row. My new position of the digital assistant excites me a lot! I love social media, I’m a big fan of the organizational process and I enjoy having responsibilities. I hope this journey will bring me, our team and everyone else a lot of joy.
Team
The voluntary team of IYM Dachau consists of about fifteen young adults from Germany and abroad. They take part in the organization, lead through the program, and take care of the participants throughout the two weeks of the Youth Meeting.
