Alex Klusman

Alex develops and organises campaigns and large events, such as the European Dance Event (2003), a large media event around the European Union. For the celebration of 50 Years of Europe (2007), Alex gave the event a very unconventional twist. The stately Knights’ Hall in The Hague was the stage for a range of remarkable cultural reflections on the European Union and the most recent history of the Old Continent. A good example of an inspiring cross-over.

Alex: ‘BKB merges completely different worlds; this gives sport, art, politics and youth culture a new dynamic. The result is often surprisingly powerful and refreshing. In this way we bring the most diverse people together.’

Alex gives campaign trainings to social democratic movements in Eastern Europe. He is a frequent visitor to cities such as Yekaterinburg, Dnipropetrovsk, Tirana and Yerevan.

He also conducts strategic research for different clients.
