Cagri Öner

ONER.jpgBeing a Libra, spending one fourth of his entire life by changing jobs; two years in a bank, then three years in an environmental NGO which was followed by working as Youth, Sports and Intercultural Dialogue projects manager at British Council for six years. After all he decided to be a professional photographer and designer, a pursuit he started back in 1991. During all those years he has been active follower of all environmental related issues and have attended various workshops, seminars and summer schools in this field. He is a true example of the fact that transferrable skills really work, so he believes that he can transfer the skills and the experience he gained throughout the erratic flight of his career to this exciting project.
