Current occupation

Freelance Trainer; Member of Trainers’ Pool of the Directorate of Youth and Sport at the Council of Europe (http://eycb.coe.int/)

Work experience

I started my European youth work in 1999 as a teen volunteer and youth activist in a local Human Rights Club. While receiving my academic training in Austria, Germany and the USA, I was actively involved in youth work and completed a number of courses for youth multipliers and youth trainers at the Directorate of Youth and Sport at the Council of Europe; the United Nations Academy for Training and Research; Minority Rights Group International and the World Bank. Since 2008 I am a member of the Pool of Trainers of the Council of Europe.
I have a long experience with the EU Erasmus + Program, the ex Youth in Action and Youth Programs and the Lifelong Learning Program; Daphne and Justice Programs.

About 80 % of all trainings I delivered are within the Erasmus +; the Youth in Action and Youth Program. My first "Youth program" training was in the year 2006 and my last ones are within the "Erasmus +" program: working as a trainer and researcher in few ongoing KA1 and KA2 international projects.


I have been chairing DARE European Network - Democracy and Human Rights Education in Europe between 2015 and 2017.

I have delivered more than 200 international and national training courses for young people since 2005.

Main topics of my work are:

1) Diversity Management, Human Rights and Intercultural Dialogue
2) Inclusion, disadvantaged youth (minorities, migrants, youth with disabilities, socially disadvantaged youth) and diversity trainings. Focus on multiple discrimination.
3) Prevention of risk migration, including human trafficking and refugees.
4) Gender awareness and gendered approaches in youth work. Particular focus on gender-based violence; multiple discrimination, including sexism; women and LGBTI human rights issues.
5) Using Arts for Social Change, Human Rights Education and youth work for inclusion. Particular focus on applying in youth work the methods of the Theater of the Oppressed and the Sensory Labyrinth Theater.

A more detailed overview of my work experience can be obtained from my CV.
