Barbara Giovanna BELLO

About:

I am active as a free- lance trainer since 1998 and I have been involved in many seminars and training courses both at the local and at the European level.
My interest area especially covers intersectionality, antidiscrimination issues, hate speech, as well as human rights education and advocacy.
Recently I have started to deal more and more with the “participatory evaluation”.

Barbara Giovanna BELLO has 3 references for past work as a trainer and added 3 tools to the SALTO Toolbox.
