natalie jivkova
"Don't dream your life, live your dream" is the philosophy that I believe in and has brought me here, today :)
I am inspired and passionate about non-formal learning since the moment I had my first experience 19 years ago. Since then I have been volunteering and working in various projects (environmental, social, youth) in the non-governmental sector. In 2002 I started my experience as a trainer thus supporting the learning process and personal development of youngsters and adults.
natalie jivkova has 13 references for past work as a trainer and added 3 tools to the SALTO Toolbox.
