Esther Vallado
My dream is a planet in which humans live in harmony with themselves, each other and their environment.
Non-formal learning, sustainability and nature conservation are my greatest passions.
My trainings have a strong psychological component.
I invite you to experience self-discovery, to become inspired and empowered.
My goal is to make the world a better place, one training at a time.
Esther Vallado has 8 references for past work as a trainer.

Educational pathway
- BSc in Environmental Sciences
- Natural Resources Management Technician
These give me a scientific and academic background on the main topic of my trainings: environmental issues, sustainability and nature conservation.
- SALTO ToT 2015/2016
- Schumacher Certificate in Leadership and Facilitation
These (and other smaller-scale trainings for trainers that I attended) added more competences to my trainer profile.
I am a keen life-long learner, so I keep reading, attending trainings and approaching any daily-life challenge as a learning experience that can enrich my professional competences.
