freelance facilitator & trainer

Bulgaria

I am inspired and passionate about non-formal learning since the moment I had my first experience more than 20 years ago. Since then I have been volunteering and working in various national and international projects (educational, environmental, social, youth, peace) in the non-governmental sector. In 2002 I started my experience as a trainer and facilitator thus supporting the learning process and personal development of youngsters and adults.

I am a freelance trainer and facilitator who have designed and delivered national and international trainings and seminars on various topics such as teamwork, effective communication, intercultural learning, conflict transformation, project development, implementation and evaluation, presentation and facilitation skills, training of trainers, mentoring, organizational development, assessment and future planning, organized by municipalities, social institutions, schools and local and international NGOs and networks.
