Omar Noriega
I am a multidisciplinary project coordinator, educator, creative facilitator, and founder of PEP — Pure Énergie Positive, an association based in Yverdon-les-Bains. My work connects sociocultural animation, art workshops, community projects, communication, digital tools, and inclusive spaces for people who often do not fit easily into standard structures.
What I am looking for
I am currently focused on projects and roles where I can combine coordination, facilitation, creative methods, communication, and community development. I am especially interested in sociocultural, educational, associative, cultural, integration, and local community projects where human connection, creativity, accessibility, and practical organization matter.
Concrete capabilities
Facilitation & workshops
I design and lead creative, educational, and participatory workshops for mixed audiences. My approach is practical, adaptive, and human-centered, with attention to inclusion, confidence, expression, and group dynamics.
- Art and creative workshops through PEP
- Beginner-friendly technology and AI learning sessions
- 3D printing and creative fabrication sessions
- Language teaching and university teaching experience
- Informal learning for adults, families, migrants, and community groups
Sociocultural & community projects
I create and coordinate spaces where people can meet, participate, express themselves, and build trust through shared activities. I focus on low-pressure environments that reduce isolation and make participation easier.
- PEP atelier in Yverdon-les-Bains
- Community events and open atelier formats
- Creative cafés, afterworks, and inclusive gatherings
- Activities for different ages and backgrounds
- Intercultural and migrant-oriented events
Project coordination
I move from idea to execution: clarify the concept, organize people and resources, communicate the offer, prepare materials, host the activity, and adapt based on real feedback.
- Building PEP as an association and active creative space
- Planning events, courses, workshops, and community formats
- Coordinating communication, visuals, logistics, and partnerships
- Developing proposals for institutional or municipal collaboration
Communication, design & public visibility
I create clear visual and written communication for projects, especially when an idea needs to become understandable, attractive, and accessible to the public.
- Posters, flyers, social media posts, campaign visuals
- Website content and landing pages
- Event descriptions and public-facing texts
- Branding for social, cultural, and creative projects
- Communication strategies for PEP and related initiatives
Digital tools & technology
I use technology as a support for human projects, not as an end in itself. I help associations, small projects, and community structures organize, communicate, automate, document, teach, and prototype.
- PEPTEC — technology-oriented extension of PEP’s ecosystem
- AI learning initiatives for beginners
- Booking, communication, automation, and digital workflow tools
- 3D printing and fabrication for creative learning
- Websites and digital support for small organizations

Events, hospitality & group dynamics
Practical experience in live environments brings knowledge of atmosphere, logistics, people flow, improvisation, service, rhythm, and public interaction. This supports the ability to create welcoming spaces and manage real-world logistics.
A multidisciplinary path with a clear direction
My path crosses several fields: education, art, communication, technology, hospitality, project coordination, and community work. At first glance, this may look broad. In practice, the red thread is consistent: I build environments where people can understand, participate, create, and connect.
Whether I am designing a workshop, organizing an event, creating a poster, teaching a concept, building a small digital tool, cooking for a group, or coordinating an association project, the central question is the same:
How can we make participation easier, more human, more creative, and more accessible?
This is the coherence of my work.
Possible roles & contexts
I am particularly useful in hybrid contexts where a project needs someone who can connect vision and execution: understand the human need, design the activity, prepare the communication, coordinate logistics, facilitate the session, and document or improve the process afterwards.

Personal artistic & reflective work
Writing, visual identity, storytelling, and artistic explorations around identity, belonging, technology, neurodivergence, migration, and alternative futures.
Research areas & complementary lenses
Beyond my current professional focus, I explore several fields that inform how I think about people, spaces, learning, creativity, and autonomy. These interests are not separate identities, but complementary lenses that feed my work.
These fields help me design projects that are not only functional, but also sensitive to human rhythm, access, dignity, creativity, and belonging.
What guides my work
I believe people often need spaces where they can try, create, speak, learn, and connect without being reduced to a diagnosis, a status, a productivity metric, or a predefined role. My work is about creating practical conditions for participation, expression, and agency.
Working across languages and worlds
I work across several languages and cultural contexts, with particular sensitivity to migration, belonging, identity, and communication between different social worlds.
