Ida Nydelius

Ida is passionate about entrepreneurship, cultures and the arts. During her 2 years at UWCRCN, she began to explore further within the visual arts and organised a fashion show with an awareness campaign about the cruelty in the fashion industry. Before UWCRCN, she was involved in an entrepreneurship course, teaching yoga, in several volunteering groups within the Swedish Church and were running a sewing group. Her goals for the year are learning about the Brazilian culture and people, getting inspired and influenced as well as gaining a wider perspective on the world. What inspires her? Nature, miracles, and life stories of brave people.
