Nicoline van Slingelandt is a writer and entrepreneur specializing in creativity, art, and educational storytelling. After earning her law degree, she spent six years at an international development bank, where she highlighted the stories of entrepreneurs in emerging markets. Since 2011, Nicoline has led her own creative projects, including the publication of several acclaimed books and games that inspire children and families to explore art and creativity. Her work has been published by an award-winning Dutch indie publisher and has reached thousands of readers. Nicoline also brings extensive experience in project management and content strategy within the education sector. She is dedicated to helping others unlock their creative potential and continues to develop innovative resources for lifelong learning. Her motto is that creativity is easy to try and even easier to enjoy. This is one of the reasons she founded GYMSICAL, a space where people can (re)learn to pause, pay attention, percolate, and play. Another reason is that she believes we humans need to reclaim our attention in order to flourish in this one life we have.
