Peri Kourakli
Well, what can I say?
I love to learn and to teach (sometimes simultaneously), especially by using non formal techniques!
I am always active and positive. Τhis kind of attitude drove me to work or to be a volunteer at NGOs of different fields of expertise and with different kind of people and in several countries.
But there is always a common element: the quality on the projects I am selecting to invest my energy and the outcome we produce.
Peri Kourakli has 6 references for past work as a trainer.

Work experience
I used to work for formal education:
-Technological Institute of Forestry at Karpenisi "Pedology" and "Forest Recreation" (2004-2005, 15h/ week).
-Institute of Vocational Training of Lagada "Natural Environment" (2003, 2h/week) and Institute of Vocational Training of Kozani "Health and Safety" (2006, 2h/week)
I worked for Hellenic Ornithological Society as North Greece Manager for 4 years (1997-2011) and in BirdLife Europe for 3 years (2010-2013). For two years (2013-2014) I was cooperating with Thessaloniki - European Youth Capital 2014 as a youth projects and youth policy expert. The last position gives me the opportunity to plan, coordinate or monitor a set of various youth projects (from anima graphics to youth employment) which aims in the local implementation of EU and national youth policies.
I continued working on european projects and since the summer of 2015 I am a civil servant.
I am a member of NGOs practically all of my life.
I have started as a Guide Girl, then in my adulthood become a volunteer of Hellenic Ornithological Society/ BirdLife Greece (birds' monitoring & environmental education) and later I connected myself with UNESCO Youth Club of Thessaloniki as a volunteer and now as a board member.
I was also a core member of the Working Group for the realization of the program of Thessaloniki - European Youth Capital 2014 since 2011 (planning - preparation- pilot implementation).
I am a founding member of Global Youth Biodiversity Νetwork.
