I do believe in power of Non formal education. Some years ago it changed my life completely. Now I am sharing my knowledge and skills with the others. As a trainer I use creative and engaging non-formal education methods that can challenge groups as I am always up for a challenge myself! I love designing training that connects to participant's needs and have in depth knowledge of the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programme. I feel privileged to be a part of so many journeys!

I love working in an international environment. In the past, I have been working as a trainer, facilitator, and organizer in projects that are co-funded by the Erasmus+ program. In February 2018 came the decision to establish the non-governmental organization LAYA. My main driving force in working with youth is seeing the individual versatile development and the expanded horizons of the participants.
