About Dr Majbritt Lyck-Bowen

I am a friendly, positive, energetic, skilful and trustworthy Dane that love to nurture hope, empathy, resistance, positive change and -relationships.

I do this in two capacities: Firstly, as a facilitator of interactive and inclusive training, I love to help people develop better interpersonal skills and practices that improve the ways they communicate and interact with each other. Secondly, as an interdisciplinary mixed-methods researcher and consultant I support civil society organisations in improving their practices, processes, policies and projects.

All my work is based on the following values: Hope & Positivity; Curiosity & Creativity; Social Justice & Responsibility; Diversity, Equity & Radical Inclusion; Relationships, Collaboration & Co-Creation and Transparency, Integrity & Accountability.

In my role as a facilitator of interactive and inclusive training, I mainly focus on the following broad areas:

• Interpersonal communication and conflict transformation including methods, approaches and skills. 
• Violent conflict and peacebuilding theories, approaches and practices
• Migration and integration theories, approaches and practices

I have more than ten years of experience in carefully designing and delivering training to a wide range of participants including teachers, local peacebuilders, researchers, religious actors, government officials, integration practitioners and staff at international NGOs.

I have more than 10 years of experience in supporting civil society organisations in various ways including developing impactful resources, maximising and measuring impact and advising on a range of issues such as inclusion, the development of vertical and horizontal relationships and recruiting and maintaining volunteers.

My experience also includes developing, managing and leading complex international research projects, reviewing literature,  carrying out mixed methods (surveys, interviews and focus groups) data collection and analysis, developing outputs and disseminating findings.  Most of these projects responded to external stakeholders’ requests and needs and it included feeding back progress and findings to them and managing budgets and timelines.
