Eleni Kardamitsi

About:

Experiential learning has been in my life since I can remember myself. It is the only way I can learn! Discovering non-formal education was the framework I was looking for and I have been diving in with all my power!
My passion is promoting non-formal education by bringing the experience from the European level to our local communities. There is a special sparkle in my heart when I see young people taking initiative and claiming their place in the city.
My super power is connection.

Eleni Kardamitsi has 11 references for past work as a trainer.
