Emily Eichenlaub

Emily Eichenlaub is Head of Communications & Partnerships at the non-profit educational organisation LifeTeachUs. As a member of the founding team, she is responsible for the organisation’s strategic communications, the development of educational partnerships, and its public positioning. Together with companies, associations, foundations, and other partners, she develops collaborations that promote civic engagement and enable people to share their knowledge and life experience with schools as volunteer LifeTeachers.

Driven by the belief that every child should have access to an education that is as diverse and relevant to real life as possible, she advocates for greater educational equity and closer exchange between schools and society. Her work combines strategic thinking with creative storytelling, resulting in communication formats that inspire people to become actively involved in society.

Through her work, Emily Eichenlaub helps bring the vision of LifeTeachUs to a wider audience: enriching cancelled lessons and learning environments with meaningful encounters and practical, real-world experiences. Her goal is to make civic engagement in schools so commonplace that everyone has the opportunity to inspire young people through their own experiences and help prepare them for life.
