With a background in computer engineering, I found myself catapulted into the world of European non-formal education and, passionate about the holistic dimension of learning, I never left it. For more than 10 years, I have covered different roles, from youth worker to mentor, from project coordinator and manager to trainer, always with the underlying aim of empowering the recipients of each project, creating the conditions for them to engage in self-development. My expertise includes topics as Education to sustainable development, Active Citizenship, emotional intelligence and learning, which I explore applying a competence-based approach. As a passionate advocate of learner-centredness and self-directed learning, I recognise that education transcends cognitive realms. Emotions, attitudes, and diversity are vital components of holistic learning. My approach encompasses these dimensions, fostering an environment of inclusion where emotional dynamics are harnessed to support each learner’s journey.
