Viktoria Grivina

About:

As a trainer in communication, journalism and social media I focus on modern communicative theories, soft skills, issues of cultural and inter-cultural boundaries, migration, exclusion and borders, both geopolitical and artistic.
I believe communication will help us achieve peace, and knowledge of modern media can foster creation of a truly open society.
With a degree in linguistics and experience of peace-training in post-conflict communities, I deeply trust in non-formal education.

Viktoria Grivina has 4 references for past work as a trainer and added 2 tools to the SALTO Toolbox.
