Educational pathway
1. TRAYCE (Training of Trainers for Youth in the Council of Europe) 2023-2024 (CoE)
This program has been instrumental in refining my training and facilitation skills, equipping me with advanced techniques and methodologies to effectively lead youth workshops and training sessions.
2. HOP Crash Course for trainers and facilitators of online learning (SALTO EECA)
The HOP Crash Course was essential for me as it enhanced my confidence in designing and implementing diverse online learning formats, both blended and stand-alone. It provided valuable insights into delivering engaging and interactive online courses, specifically tailored for youth work, and aligned with non-formal education principles. Additionally, the course offered excellent networking opportunities with other youth workers and trainers, fostering collaboration and sharing of best practices in online learning.
3. Training course on Council of Europe Standards and Approaches to Combating Hate Speech (CoE)
This training course has been crucial for me as it deepened my understanding of effective strategies for addressing hate speech through human rights education. The course enhanced my skills in developing counter and alternative narratives, empowering me to advocate more effectively against hate speech in youth and human rights contexts.
4. Long-Term Training Course “Youth Together” (CoE)
This LTTC equipped me with advanced skills to support the social inclusion of young refugees, particularly minors transitioning to adulthood. The course provided in-depth training on addressing the risks of social exclusion and violence through youth work and non-formal education, enhancing my ability to facilitate their access to education, self-development, and autonomy.
Last but not least, I have participated in many other ToTs and long-term mentoring projects throughout these years.
