As an Inclusive Dialogue Expert, Mahutin specializes in facilitating conversations between diverse groups and perspectives. She creates safe environments in which people feel heard and seen. With her warm presence, calm energy, and sharp insight, she builds bridges between worlds that do not naturally meet and creates space for urgent stories that want to be told.
She brings over ten years of experience in the field of inclusion and equality within the cultural sector and education. As a program maker at Art & Community at the BijlmerParktheater (2013) and as a Social Work lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences of Amsterdam, she developed innovative educational programs and socially engaged artistic context programs.
For young people, she developed cultural, artistic, and educational programs such as Theater of the Now at Maaspodium (2021–2024) and Music Matters (2021–2023) in Rotterdam. Themes such as identity, sense of belonging, anti-racism, and decolonization run as a common thread through her work and also appear in her role as a community builder. She is one of the founding mothers of the SeSi Community Center at the University of Applied Sciences of Amsterdam (2018), where inclusive learning environments are promoted through co-creation with students.
She brings these different roles into her work as a moderator, host, and facilitator. She actively thinks along about content and form and enhances programs with meaning and quality. Thanks to her broad knowledge, natural leadership, and sense of atmosphere, she effortlessly makes complex themes accessible to a wide audience.
