Sashka Vitanova
Learning is never ending story, is my believe. The main drive in my life is nature and the restoration of man to nature and man to man connections. Nowadays it's all about the choices we make in our life, and the impact of those choices. To be able to see the system's connections and our part in it as human beings, we need to know where we are, where we want to get and how to get there; we need to reflect on the process. Its all about experience and learning, and more over its meant to be joyful
Sashka Vitanova has 5 references for past work as a trainer.

Educational pathway
I am an academically trained vet, a profession I practiced for over 5 years at Green Balkans’ Wildlife Rescue Center, Bulgaria . At the Center I developed and coordinated a volunteers program. My further academic preparation is of a trainer in non-formal education, volunteer programs and environmental topics. I am an alumni of The Bulgarian Young Leaders’ Program at IIE (International Institute for Education) – Junior Environmental Professionals Training Program, USA 2010. Since winter of 2012 started a Мaster Degree Program of Artistic Psycho-Social Practices, and since October 2012 started an online distance course on Introduction to Strategic Sustainable Development, BTH University, Sweden.
The veterinary medicine gave me the knowledge about the systems' connections and interrelations, about the natural processes and nature archetypes. The volunteering programs gave me the understanding of the process oriented behavior. The experience of the YiA program gave me international dimension and cultural knowledge. The US Environmental program for leaders brought me knowledge and examples of other system way of existence. The current studies I'm taking give me deeper knowledge about the groups dynamics, psychological dimension and experiential learning, on one hand, and on another - global dimension and systems thinking; ecological and emotional intelligence.
