Bio
Maria Toft
I participated in the workshop 'The art of Transformation' where Maja was project leader and facilitator. I can highly recommend Maja as a facilitator, developer and organizer of inspiring, thought provoking and educational workshops and projects. She is extremely empathetic and has a really good feeling for people in all forms - and in all situations. She is creative, fun, loving and has a great analytical skill on the spot. /Maria Toft, PhD fellow

The projects and approaches we worked on together with Building Conversations were both radical and very relevant to the problems that organisations and communities will face in the future. Maja is excellent at working with these challenging formats and can see the enormous potential they have for companies, projects and community groups.
