A passion for cultural transformation

Luanny Faustino, a professional specializing in culture transformation and inclusion projects, is also pursuing a degree in foreign affairs. Her participation in the Euro-African Residency reflects her commitment to broadening her perspective on international projects. “I’m really excited to learn more about international projects, thinking about inclusion in a broad way and in an international context,” she shared.

For Luanny, the residency is an opportunity to develop a strategic mindset that transcends her current focus on culture and inclusion. “The strategic way of doing business internationally, with different cultures, is what I’m taking with me the most,” she explained. This new lens allows her to see how cultural transformation intersects with other critical areas, such as finance, to create holistic and impactful business strategies.
