About:

From my perspective, a good trainer is a scientist, an artist and most of all, a human.
We are scientists when we provide and use scientifically proved knowledge in our sessions.
We are artists when we practice the art of designing and facilitating... creating silence, powerful questions and fun.
We are humans when we allow others (and ourselves) to express and share their inner thoughts and feelings.
A trainer is a creator of spaces of respect, trust, empathy, and learning. It's magic!

Marina Codorniu Matas has 9 references for past work as a trainer.

Current occupation

PROJECT COORDINATOR/ERASMUS+ TRAINING & MOBILITIES COORDINATOR, TRAINER

Work experience

I started delivering training courses as a volunteer for the European Geography Association and other student organisations.

Later on, I got involved in Erasmus+ projects. I began delivering trainings and facilitating meetings, conferences, and youth exchanges all over Europe and the North of Africa.

Right now I work for SwIdeas as a Project Coordinator and a Trainer, being also their Erasmus Coordinator.

In terms of training topics, some of my most beloved ones are:
- Self Development
- Communication
- Resilience
- Permaculture & Sustainability
- Teamwork
- Training of Trainers
- Empathy
- Project Management
- Conflict Management
- Peace Building
- Intercultural Understanding

Besides this, I am a Personal Coach who loves to support individuals on their paths.
I am also a Project Manager, ideator and developer.

Educational pathway

My formal educational background comes from Geography. Studying Geography allowed me to discover the world, understand it better and broaden my perspective. I also studied Permaculture, putting the focus on Sustainability. That gave me a lot to think about!

During my university studies, I discovered EGEA (European Geography Association). There, I got the chance to participate in a Training for New Trainers and I fell in love with non-formal education. That training changed my life, it shaped me in a very positive way.

That's why I decided to take a step forward and after several training courses, I took my way to personal coaching... Every day I thank those people I met there for the experiences we lived together. That course definitely made me become a better coach, trainer, and human.

Since then, I keep on learning from other trainers, participants, training courses... and life!

A huge thanks to all the learning experiences for raising awareness and bringing us to take action!
