Sara Paolazzo

About:

My interest in Youth Work and non-formal learning comes from my experiences, first as participant then as trainer and facilitator, in Youth in Action and Erasmus+ projects, started in 2012. Thanks to these experiences, I started to work for a local youth organization as project manager, as well as trainer freelance. My personal mission is to devolop synergies between formal and non-formal education in order to prevent exclusion, racism, discrimination and school drop-out among youth.

Sara Paolazzo has 3 references for past work as a trainer.
