Communication with a practical edge.
Ivailo Ivanov is Managing Director of Plenum Communications GmbH in Berlin. His work focuses on strategic communication, digital transformation and the development of cultural, educational and publicly funded projects. Within Creative Grounds, he leads programme development, partnerships and the connection between practical learning, communication and international cooperation.
Behind Creative Grounds is a compact multidisciplinary team with backgrounds in software development and business data, media design and moving image, 3D visualisation and animation, web publishing, programme coordination and participant support. The aim is not to export a fixed model, but to combine this experience with local knowledge, institutions and professional networks in Namibia.
