\\Konzepterin und Moderatorin für Themen der Nachhaltigkeit in Bildung, Kultur und Zivilgesellschaft\\

Als selbständige Diskurgestalterin für die sozial-ökologische Wende und Nachhaltigkeitsmanagerin mit Schwerpunkt Programmatik in Bildung, Kultur und Zivilgesellschaft habe ich viel erforscht, beobachtet, gelernt und verstanden. Meine breite Praxiserfahrung in der Konzeption und Kuration von Bildungs- und Veranstaltungsformaten hilft mir, drängende gesellschaftlichen Fragestellungen mit Workshops, Beratung und Konzeptionen nach nach vorne zu bringen. Ich arbeitet mit Teams an passgenauen transformativen Diskursformaten und nachhaltigem Wissensmanagement, berate und moderiere Prozesse und leite durch eventbasierten Austausch.
Angesichts multipler globaler Krisen, fokussiere ich seit einigen Jahren auf drängende sozial-ökologische Transformationsvorhaben: Postwachstumsökonomien, Umwelt- und Naturschutz, eine nachhaltige Digitalisierung, lebenswerte Städte, Mobilitätswende ... all diese Bereiche (und noch viel mehr) müssen in die öffentliche Wahrnehmung. Dabei steht die Frage im Mittelpunkt, wie Austausch und gemeinsames Lernen in und für die Transformation gestaltet sein müssen, wie soziale Kipppunkte (im positiven, transformativen) Sinne erreicht und gleichzeitig der demokratische Diskurs gestärkt werden kann: systemisch, feministisch, diskrimierungskritisch und empowernd. Neue Formate zu erproben und nicht immer alles so zu machen wie immer schon, ist mir zugleich Herausforderung und Vergnügen!

Ich lebe seit vielen Jahren in Berlin, bin berührt und inspiriert von der Klimabewegung, Openeverything und einer Kultur des Teilens. Vor meiner Tätigkeit als selbständige Diskursgestaltung war ich fünf Jahre als Innovatorin und Projektleiterin der politischen Medienbildung bei mediale pfade tätig. Ich bin Teil der Bits & Bäume Bewegung und Co-Kuratorin der re:publica.

Tovah Denaro (she/her) is the founder and lead consultant of IBC. She began this work in 2011, through her own experience in the classroom as a Special Education teacher for youth impacted with Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities. Through her years in the classroom, she began to strategically focus her work on supporting youth who are historically marginalized. Specifically, BIPOC youth, youth in Special Education, youth who are or have been incarcerated, and youth that identify within the LGTBQIA+ community. Tovah founded IBC, is to ensure that any adult who is working with youth within a historically marginalized group, has the skill and the understanding of what it means to build sustaining relationships with youth and to recognize the power that an adult/student relationship has on keeping youth engaged and in school.

Innovative Behavioral Consulting collaborates with school districts and communities to focus on the mental health and wellbeing of youth, families, and staff. IBC works with communities to understand brain development, unpack the data of school districts to determine areas of need, and learn about historically marginalized youth within the school system. We work alongside gender expansive youth and families to help navigate the multiple systems they are involved in to ensure rights and responsibilities are understood and being followed. This is all through a Trauma-Sensitive lens to ensure the best outcome, safety, and sense of belonging for youth and families.

IBC understands that supporting and working with youth cannot be done without adults understanding the historical trauma, present day trauma, and our youth’s personal experiences within the framework of the school. IBC also acknowledges the need for adults within a school building to understand their own mental health need and recognize the importance of wellness inside and outside of the school building.

At IBC, we call our guiding values our core values, because they truly make up the core of who we are. Our values are to build authentic relationships with youth, families, communities, and schools, challenge injustice, and to acknowledge the unique strengths and challenges of our youth. These values lead the work and the mission of IBC forward. These values help IBC support school districts and their communities to develop purposeful partnerships in support of improved outcomes for youth through a Culturally Responsive and Trauma Sensitive lens. The values drive this through a comprehensive Trauma Informed Multi-Tiered System of Support, based on the individual needs of each school and district. The future of IBC is about spreading Trauma Sensitive and Culturally Responsive Mental Health practices to school districts across the state of Washington, emphasizing social emotional learning and wellness systems for all.
