Carys Stirling grew up in Scotland and now lives in the Netherlands. As a human geographer, she is fascinated by the complex relationships between people and places, how and why people move, about storytelling, memory, and the ways that borders are enacted on people in different ways. At CHOICE for Youth, Carys advocates for young people’s right to self-determination and meaningful participation in decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and rights. She is also an Intercultural Companion with Migrantour Utrecht, an initiative offering guided urban walking tours that spark dialogue about migration in the local community. Through her work, Carys enjoys transforming current debates about identity and belonging into tangible, sensory experiences and real-world encounters.
