youth participation, multicultural education, blended learning and social engagement.
EXPERIENCE:
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Teaching from the University of Cyprus and a Master’s in Social Studies, specializing in Child Studies, from Linköping University in Sweden. My current research focuses on youth participation and out-of-school education, with particular emphasis on the Cypriot context, and I was honored to receive a scholarship from the Youth Board of Cyprus for my work.
My career has been marked by active involvement in various youth-focused programs across Europe and Cyprus. I am an alumni member of the Cyprus Youth Parliament and have served in leadership roles, including as Human Resources Manager for the Erasmus Student Network International. I have designed and delivered innovative educational programs for diverse groups, integrating non-formal learning methods in both school and out-of-school settings. As a certified vocational trainer and experienced project coordinator, I also contribute to several educational institutions and organizations, including UCMAS Cyprus and the Dorea Educational Institute.
Beyond my career in education, I am deeply committed to social issues. I founded the digital platform @Itshumanlypossible and host the YouTube series #YouthStories. My social engagement has been recognized, securing a top position in the Studentlife Awards (2021). Currently, I serve as the Managing Director of 14collaborations, a business and events foundation, where I oversee planning, coordination, and content creation. My dedication to youth empowerment and education continues to shape my professional journey and community contributions.
