Sonja Jöchtl

Sonja Jöchtl is the founder of Love Politics, a non-partisan non profit organization. Love Politics is committed to greater social representation in politics and supports political talent from the center of society on their way into politics. The training is more than just political craftsmanship and an understanding of the system. It is resilience training and a network, an encouragement to work towards long-term and sustainable goals. People who want to enter politics at a later stage in their lives bring an important compass: their expertise and previous life experience in various social fields. This compass serves as a decision-making aid in politically turbulent times. Sonja is Director of Culture at the Complexity Science Hub, based Vienna, AT. Previously, she was Managing Director of the European Forum Alpbach Foundation and Member of the Board at Caritas AT.
