Hi! My name is Belina. I am based in Berlin, Germany. Ich bin ein Belina. I am a global improv consultant, climate comedy teacher, and giggler, helping people and organisations to bring more love, expansiveness, and ability to engage with complex systems into our responses to climate and social issues.My posts - I write from the heart, unaided by AI.I have worked with many organisations including the science accelerator lab Frontier Development Lab (a collaborative partner with the European Space Agency and NASA), giz (a German sustainable development organisation), and the Inga Foundation (the gold standard, holistic, scientifically proven way to help farmers in the humid tropics to shift away from the poverty and destruction cycle of slash-and-burn farming to an organic agroforestry system which restores sterile soil and biodiversity, grows climatically resilient crops, and helps farmers to thrive). Since 2008 I have been designing and facilitating different forms of improv workshops for people working in sustainability to help build collaboration, engagement, and our ability to engage with complex issues. I was on the board of the Applied Improvisation Network for six years, co-chaired many of their international conferences, and initiated a collaboration between the Applied Improvisation Network and the Red Cross Climate Centre. I also wrote a book, ‘Using Improv to Save the World (and me)’ about my experience of letting go of having a home and travelling to 11 countries around the world to facilitate applied improvisation workshops. And since 2015, I have been delivering one of my favourite brainchildren - ’Sustainable Stand Up’ - a course which teaches people working on climate and social issues how to use a loving form of humour to think more expansively about the issues they care about, and to communicate them in a more engaging, memorable, and human way. In June 2023, I became a facilitator of the powerful peer-coaching tool the Flow Game, so I could help people gain clarity about their work and lives in a deeper way. I giggle a lot because I love what I do.
