Corinna Assmann
I’ve been part of the DISCOVER FOOTBALL team since the first festival in 2009, and prior to that was part of the organising as well as football team for the 2006 match in Tehran and co-producer of the documentary film Football under Cover. I work in Heidelberg as lecturer and postdoctoral researcher in English literature, with particular interest in postcolonial studies, transculturality, and gender and queer theory.
Valerie Assmann
My name is Valerie and I am a co-founder of DISCOVER FOOTBALL and a board member of DFC. I work as a graphic designer and was part of the Berlin squad that traveled to Tehran in 2006 to play the Iranian national women’s team. After ten years with Discover Football, I can say that this work is true empowerment for me.

Since volunteering at the DISCOVER FOOTBALL Festival in Berlin 2013, I have contributed to publications, workshops and conference organisation (my professional background is in the social sciences and education). Meeting the inspiring young women from all over the world at our festivals and conferences is always exciting and rewarding.
Caro Geisler
I have been involved for many years with people who have had to flee, giving German courses, coaching and mediating between the different authorities. For me it is important to bring people together, to promote happy coexistence, empowerment and equal opportunities. I love intercultural work, travelling, nature and rethinking things.

Melanie Schuler
When I was a little child I thought football was “a boys sport”. I got convinced by a friend to join her in the training and so I fell in love with football despite my strange conviction. Since then football has become one of my biggest passions. I have joined DISCOVER FOOTBALL for the last Festival in 2021.
