José Oliveira

About:

Olá! I am José, portuguese, youth worker since 1997 and trainer since 2011 working in the non formal education field.
I’m a bit of everyone and a bit of everything. I love graphic facilitation and I love to try and combine different methods and atmospheres in trainings.
I have a large experience working with children, youngsters and adults in a wide range of themes such as empowerment, social inclusion, active participation, volunteering and recognising learning.
"To be great, be whole"
