Anita Silva

About:

I have been active in the youth work sector for more than 25 years, working in community centres and emergency homes for young people at risk. I regularly lecture in higher education and work as a trainer, facilitator, and consultant with several NAs, SALTOS, and other global organisations, namely as a trainer of Trainers. Meanwhile, I run a company specialising in Learning and an NGO that organises clown visits to elderly centres.

Anita Silva has 3 references for past work as a trainer and added 2 tools to the SALTO Toolbox.
