Buzz Burry:
Hi, I’m Buzz Bury, a UK based International Youth Worker, Trainer and Consultant. I have a degree in Youth & Community Work and over 25 years experience both at a practitioner and management level. Past activities have included; social work to sexual health, drugs education to sport, club and issue based programmes to formal education projects. As my work progressed my specialisms were developed and these now include; development education, global youth work, youth participation, youth leadership and coaching.
Seven years ago I embarked on a freelance career, focusing on programmes that include; engaging those excluded from education, sustainable and global education, arts development and training. My international work now includes an established programme of training within Youth in Action, as well as training for a variety of other international focused organisations.
In my spare time you can find me enjoying world music. I am a DJ, part time music producer and recently established a new community based not for profit NGO in my home town that uses intercultural music activities and projects to promote tolerance and celebrates cultural diversity.
I look forward to working with you all on the Compass Training.
Pétur Björgvin Thorsteinsson:
My name is Pétur Björgvin Thorsteinsson. I´m an Youth Worker, Trainer and Deacon in a Lutheran Church. I have a diploma from Württemberg, Germany in Youth and diaconal work and a Master Degree in European Studies from Bifröst in Iceland. In the last 25 years I have been active in youth work, mainly within the church but also in other organizations. Past activities have included; Compass training in Iceland, training courses for EVS volunteers (on-arrival, mid-term-meeting), several trainings for youth workers within the own organization.
I did my training of trainers for European Youth Projects in 2004 to 2005 with the main goal to deepen my understanding about the European Youth Work world, as I had been living in Germany for 10 years. Im also a member of Akureyri association of freelance researchers, where my research area is interfaith dialogue and Islam phobia.
Im married with Regina from Germany and we have three children (17,14,7). To my own surprise I do sometimes have spare time.
And Im happy that I will be doing more Compass Training soon.
Greetings
