Community Engagement Coordinator
Nicole supports Saif and the Dartington Hall Trust with the design and running of Integr8 UK’s community engagement activities.
Nicole is a ‘multi-hyphenate’: someone who pursues various paths at the same time! These have included educational and heritage projects, cultural awareness raising, community building and engagement, and theatre (directing, making, and community practice). In all that she does, Nicole seeks to honour an interest and commitment to social justice. She is particularly passionate about supporting refugees and asylum seekers, and has spent time volunteering in Northern France – both in the old Calais Jungle, and the current ‘camp’ near Dunkirk.
