Ioana Filipas
Full-time youth worker and trainer, part-time disseminator of semi-useless information about unicorns.
Around 20 years ago, I discovered non-formal education, and my life has never been the same. Since then, I have been contributing to changing the lives of young people and educators across the world.
My main focuses are inclusion and diversity, visual methods, critical & analytical thinking, media literacy, and rural youth.
Would love to tell you more about what I do!
Ioana Filipas has 3 references for past work as a trainer.

Work experience
Over the years, I took on different hats:
- trainer for youth and youth workers;
- activity coordinator for youth;
- volunteer coordinator;
- mentor for youth;
- university teacher;
- facilitator;
- others.
In my everyday life, I am the activity coordinator (and organiser and implementer, for most of them) of ASTRID, an NGO I founded together with a good friend. At ASTRID, we organise activities for youth meant to help them develop in a way the school curricula don't. Using the magic of non-formal education and participative methods, we teach them team work, negotiation, effective communication, media literacy, critical & analytical thinking, graphic facilitation, and many other useful skills.
I have been involved in Erasmus+ projects since back in 2010, when the grandma of Erasmus+, Youth in Action, was leading. I was and still am a project coordinator, project manager, trainer, and facilitator in Erasmus+ KA1 and KA2 projects.
If you ask me, the thing I am best at is training and facilitating.
Educational pathway
I studied Journalism at Uni, then continued with a master's in Advertising. Then I decided life was too easy, so I did a PhD in Sociology.
All of these helped me a lot in my training and youth work, giving me broader approaches and new topics to tackle with youth.
But what also helped me (I would say more than school, but I loved some of my teachers, so I will not say that) were the trainings I participated in. Started in 2010, I attended over 100 Erasmus+ mobilities, on topics ranging from human rights to graphic facilitation. Those were the contexts where I learned about people, how they think, how they act, what triggers them and what makes them open.
I fell in love with working with people somewhere on the way. Around the beginning, I would say.
