ENIL is a forum for all disabled people, Independent Living organizations and their non-disabled allies on the issues of Independent Living.

About me

I am originally from Poland, but I was born and live in Greece, where I studied journalism and communication. In 2014, I co-founded i-living, the first and only Independent Living organisation in Greece, and was its chair. Since 2018, I work for the European Network on Independent Living - ENIL as Policy and Movement Support Officer, and, among other things, my role is to support the youth network, work with the membership, and on areas like personal assistance, inclusive education, disability and youth/climate change/hate crime & hate speech/AI & technology, and represent the organisation in conferences and other events. I am experienced speaker, moderator and workshop facilitator when it comes to disability and youth rights, independent living and accessible tourism/travelling. Also, until autumn of 2022 I represented the ENIL Youth Network at the Youth Committee of the European Disability Forum, being the chair of the latter, and I was also in the Youth Committee of the International Disability Alliance. Finally, I am the only disabled travel blogger in Greece (check @thetrawheeler) and I am part of the team of Care Under Sun, an accessible tourism company in Greece.
