TRAINING

I work as a Trainer using non-formal education methodologies. Non-formal education is experiential learning that may or may not happen in the classroom. If formal education is what happens in the classroom, aformal education is what happens at breaktime (knowledge passed from one person to another, in telling stories, sharing, socializing). I work with both youth and adults.

Apart from coaching one-to-one, I also work with groups or teams, offering workshops and trainings to diverse groups of people, such as corporate professionals, women groups, the unemployed, vulnerable groups such as refugees and asylum seekers, young adults, teenagers, even children.

From time to time I organize my own trainings or worskhops that I offer as a freelancer Trainer. I also have long-standing collaborations with various entities in the governmental, semi-governmental, non-governmental and private sectors. Some examples of past collaborators are:

Cyprus Youth Board, Cyprus Youth Council (member of the Pool of Trainers since 2012), Cyprus Organisation of Youth Centres, Peaceplayers International, Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies, UNESCO, Cyprus Academy of Public Administration, Future Worlds Center, Centre for Counselling and Professional Development Ltd., Life Skills Development Association, Education for a Culture of Peace, Association for Historical Dialogue and Research, Cyprus Community Media Centre, Friends Forever International, Frederick University, Neapolis University Cyprus, Alexander College / University of the West of England, University of Central Lancashire Cyprus, Productivity Centre Cyprus, European Mentoring and Coaching Council – Cyprus.

My main working areas are:

personal development (life skills)
professional development (career management skills, including employability, CV coaching, job interview coaching, Linkedin profile management)
personal leadership & empowerment
team building & effective communication
social inclusion & civic empowerment
peace education & global education
active citizenship & civic participation
