Eliana Schueler

Germany

Eliana Schüler was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1989.

Eliana was always interested in the arts, music in particular. She learned playing the piano, later focusing on singing and acting. Alongside school, Eliana worked as a camp counselor and took part in two short-term exchange programs with France that increased her motivation of going abroad for longer periods.

In 2009, Eliana finished high school having majored in English, French and History and planned working in a SOS Children`s Village in the Republic of Niger. Due to the turbulent political situation in Niger, her project was cancelled and that was when she learned about Drama for Life.

For the next ten months, she coordinated the DFL Resource Centre, worked on the DFL Website and supported the Festival Team. Apart from that she was part of an Amnesty International Volunteer group.

Having changed her focus from the arts to social change, she is presently studying towards her Bachelor degrees in Cultural and Social Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Vienna.
Besides that she is involved with an Amnesty International LGBT Rights Network and is tutoring children with migration background.
