Current occupation

Social worker : organizing individual and group projects for youngsters facing social difficulties in general.

Work experience

As a social worker I am daily involved with young people facing social exclusion. By using methods , based on the principles of "experiential learning" positive confirmation and discovering of personal stenghts, I tray to create self esteem and to open new pathways to personal improvement.
Bringing new opportunities to young people, going international, creates a new start, a different approach and opens doors for a better future.
I work mainly on inclusion topics, such as NEET's, people facing dissability, refugees and social obstacles.

I am part of the pool of trainers of the national agency's of Slovenia and Belgium-Flanders and also of SALTO SEE rc.
In the frame of ESC I am involved in the training and evaluation cycles of Movit and SALTO SEErc.

Next to a huge amount of theoretical knowledge I can offer a loud of experience on implementing different actions and activities. As director of Zavod Manipura I am involved in receiving and supporting every year around 40 ESC volunteers, in youth exchanges, TC's and study visits and also in sending groups to "Discover EU for inclusion".

I have worked for different NA's and SALTO's, was accreditor and assesor in the past.
I facilitated several activities for NA officers ( EVS, QL assesors, Discover EU ) and was facilitator in different training of trainers.
