Indra further obtained postgraduate degrees in Social Entrepreneurship (Gordon School of Business Science, South Africa) and Innovation and Design Thinking (MIT; Columbia University, Dartmouth University, US). She uses innovation tools in her projects to enable change systemically on a social, communal, individual and transgenerational level.
Indra has developed and worked extensively in community projects that connect counselling with arts practices and storytelling, especially in transforming countries such as South Africa, Chile, Myanmar and Cambodia. As a researcher and writer Indra investigates how post-atrocity societies engage with the past, along with how that violent past impacts the present and future and enables or disables reconciliation processes.

Rayka Kobiella, born in 1980 in Quaal, Schleswig-Holstein, studied literature and ethnology. She is a writer, theatre maker and activist and walks synergistically between theatre, performances & community work. In her work she explores our understanding of proximity and isolation, of understanding and misunderstanding in private as well as socio-political space. As a playwright and director, she has created plays such as "Akzentfrei" and "Wagen 10 - Eine Flüchtlingsbiografie" in Hamburg, "Life is overrated" and "Vestiges" in NYC, "Cut Into Pieces" in London. In the interdisciplinary collaboration "Killing Letters" with sculptor Anna Myga Kasten about killed journalists, she wrote the text.
Extended travels have taken her as a freelance writer and theatre-maker to New York, London, Denmark, Uganda, Morocco, South Africa and Southeast Asia, among other places. Since 2018, she has been the initiator and curator of the cultural centre and Think Tank "Toonda" in rural Uganda. She is a member of the performance company Label Gray NYC, the FREE(AK) SHOW (Uganda-Germany) and founded the performance collective for new music and text in an intercultural context DissOPERAlusion (Hamburg) together with Dr. Yijie Wang.

Madi van Schalkwyk is the founder and lead organiser of the 'Human Library South Africa'. She took the step a few years ago from “perfecting the art of ruining a family dinner" towards “finding really amazing people to talk to”. In the context of the Human Library, she creates a space and offers a structure, in which members of discriminated minorities or experiences in difficult topics can share their lived experiences and thus showcase the complex reality behind the simplified label that the wider society places on them. Together with a large community or volunteers, they enables and facilitate conversations that otherwise might never happen, creating opportunities for truly authentic, vulnerable exchanges and transformational learning experiences. Less interestingly (to her), she is a Freelance Graphic Designer with a degree in Visual Communication, a certificate in “The Rise of Superheroes…” and feels more comfortable in an awkward conversation than behind her designer desk. >> Roundabout
