    What do you do?

    Director (among other things :P)

    My favourite memories from childhood and youth are of my school years. I was one of those kids who liked going to school, mainly to hang out with classmates, who helped me with all sorts of mischief, which at times made things interesting, and occasionally complicated, our carefree youth. In high school, we eagerly explored new things that come with adulthood 😉.

    My first associations with youth are carefreeness, curiosity, and playfulness.

    The time I spent in my youth was filled with different activities that enriched our adolescent lives. From sports and travels to active participation in youth organizations, to parties and the ever-present youthful rebellion in all those periods. But that was so many years ago that I witnessed rapid technological development throughout my upbringing - from cassette recording to Spotify, from letters to emails, from video cassettes to Netflix, from black and white TV to colour... Well, I'm not that old :D

    The time young people live in today is just as interesting and challenging as ours was. And a time when we, young at heart, still enjoy life with enthusiasm.

    As a teenager, nothing was so bad to leave me with bad memories, though we struggled with our parents' misunderstanding that now we were adults and they didn’t have to nag us (except when we needed something from them), we got over teenage loves, unnecessary questioning by teachers when we were unprepared...

    From that time, I miss… Every period in life is special and needs to be experienced. The question is whether we could ever be as carefree as we were then.

    With friends, I loved actively spending my free time and discovering new things.

    What I liked doing (but shouldn't have) … I'd rather not say :P

    Today, I keep myself young all the time, but from time to time, I have to act seriously and responsibly according to social norms.

    Today, I would tell my younger self: Take every opportunity because opportunity seldom knocks twice.

    What I like most about working with young people is that sometimes we learn more from them than they do from us.
