TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
http://trainers.salto-youth.net/PetraPapiernkov/
I’m a psychotherapist, trainer, facilitator, and educator who designs learning experiences that strengthen communication, collaboration, wellbeing, and inclusive practice.I combine psychology, non-formal education, and systemic thinking to create trainings that are practical, reflective, and grounded in real work situations.
I design and facilitate workshops, international training courses, long-term educational programmes, toolkits, and MOOCs across education, youth work, and HR contexts.
Petra Papierníková has 4 references for past work as a trainer.
trainer, facilitator, psychotherapist, project manager (freelance)
I’ve been leading Erasmus+ Youth projects that blend coaching, nonformal education, and community organising. From creating eco-coaching and career guidance handbooks to designing innovative board games and MOOCs for youth workers. As part of the Slovak Pool of Trainers and Coaches, I deliver trainings on safe space, inclusion, solidarity projects, and competence development. Looking ahead, I’m preparing international training courses on authenticity and empowerment, hackathons on educational transformation, and Europe–Africa exchanges that equip young changemakers to turn ideas into real community impact.
I hold a PhD in Education from Comenius University in Bratislava, alongside Master’s degrees in Psychology and Education. I am also a Certified Coach and have completed advanced training in Solution-based Psychotherapy. These studies gave me both a strong academic foundation and practical tools for working with individuals, groups, and communities. Beyond formal education, I’ve deepened my expertise through non-formal learning in areas such as youth coaching, eco-coaching, and nonformal education methodologies within Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps.
