Educational pathway

I have studied education, volunteered for many years in an NGO in Greece where I learned by doing have been part of training for trainersm trainings for youth workers. I have designed my own trainings and projects and collaborated with various organisations in Europe. As a certified facilitator and coach from Soliya I have been trained to facilitate intercultural dialogues in a constructive and collaborative approach and coach other facilitators by giving them constructive feedback.
In my educational endeavours it is important to connect with likeminded people and develop new methods while practicing our skills. For me it is important to work in a team, have clear communication and coordination and specific organisational tools to move forward with the objectives.
