Meet Team Berlin
The Advisory Members
Inga Treitler
Loves the mysteries that make people tick. For example, she believes that waste has value if only you see differently. That’s why she uses anthropology’s lenses to help people and companies see challenges in new ways. At GBAS21, her magic power is connecting people and ideas.
Kyle Gibson
Was drawn to anthropology because of its emphasis on seeing the forest through the trees. He works with Team Berlin on technical and production projects and enjoys the sense of community and purpose he has found among practising anthropologists
Alberto Guglielmone
Is convinced that anthropology is like a lighthouse to show us the way, out of the fog of these confused and challenging years. Especially in the world of business, where Alberto comes from. In GBAS21 he represents the point of connection with companies and foundations for partnership and fundraising projects.
Christine Avenarius
Enjoys exploring why people do what they do. She believes the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030 are useful tools to communicate what connects us and how to find interconnected solutions. At GBAS21, she looks at the big picture and contributes to one of the sessions
The Interns
