Educational pathway
MASTER OF ARTS IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS -
during the study, both formal and informal (owing to the interaction with the peers) I have received a deep knowledge of English, interactions in the society, the power of language and how it affects people, and, thanks to the British Council and Window to America courses, the feeling of being an important part of Europe and the world.
PHD candidate in SOCIAL COMMUNICATION -
taught me to search for the main ideas and be precise.
YiA training on project management and YiA opportunities called ProChange held in Moldova:
gave me a deep understanding and involvement in the YiA training (also as an organiser: currently being a promoter in three of them).
Non-formal trainings and also actions and initiatives in my NGO: I learnt more about the human rights, media relations, new media, NGOs, project management, time management, oratorical and scene skills, ways of communicating with the police and authorities etc.
UNDP/Ministry of Youth of Ukraine YouthWorker multistage program: gave me a thorough understanding of the systems and mechanisms on working with youth in Ukraine.
