On 4th of June 2019 I was in England to present my latest book ‚Fighting the War on Terror‚ at the Austrian Cultural Forum London. With great pleasure, I was on the podium with a distinguished panel of experts for a Talk about the work of Counter-Terrorism units around the Globe and of course, about my book. Many thanks to BBC Security-Correspondent Gordon Corera, Counter-Terrorism-expert Richard Barrett and Cambridge University-Professor Neil Kent who made this Evening in London possible. I also would like to thank all the guests who joined this Evening. It was a great pleasure to discuss with you – for several hours – the topics of Security, Counter-Terrorism, Prevention and the numerous adventures I had, when I did this book with the units in the 16 countries of this World.

This book means a lot to me. I experienced so much during the writing process and for that, I would like to thank you – Commanders and members of the Units – for your contributions to make this book possible. I think that we did a good job! The book has been translated into several languages and is a very well received. Especially in England! It has been dedicated to the actor Kevin Spacey who played in the Movie „The Negotiator“ and who inspired me to write this book. Spacey is also an inspiration for numerous members of the Counter terrorism-units worldwide because of this Movie.

Many thanks to the Director of the Austrian Cultural Forum Katalin-Tünde Huber and to her whole Team in London who made this Evening possible!

Le Lycée Français de Vienne m’a invitée à participer comme intervenante au „Forum des Métiers 2019“. Il s’agit d‘ une journée destinée aux élèves de classe de 1ère – donc aux élèves qui font leur Baccalauréat en un an – pour se familiariser avec les nombreux parcours de formation et de rencontrer des professionnels de divers domaines. Cette journée permet aux élèves de poser plein de questions … 🏃🏃🏃L’objectif est de simplifier l’orientation professionnelle par des échanges entre les jeunes et 60 professionnels.

J’étais l’un des professionnels …
#JournalisteAuteure🌞

Et j‘ ai eu la grande joie de discuter avec Elena, Sophie, Matthew, Zoé, Sabrina-Paula, Lara et pleins d’autres élèves intéressés par mon métier de journaliste, d‘ auteure et de conférencière… Je leur ai expliqué que au final, il fallait s’intéresser à tout dans la vie. C´est á dire : à la politique, à l´économie, aux langues, au sport, à la culture,…etc…  Voilà ce que mes profs au Lycée m´ont appris. C´est ainsi que des discussions fructueuses ont eu lieu ce mercredi et – comme les années précédentes – les élèves ont été impressionnés par mes récits… 😉

Voici les photos du jour:
