Trainer description:
Towards the end of my studies in food technology, a youth centre opened in my hometown. I was happy to take part in its activities and soon became involved as a volunteer. This is where I discovered youth work and non-formal education and became passionate about working with young people.
In 2016, I started working as a youth worker and continued my education in the fields of youth work and working with different vulnerable groups. I have worked in youth street work, facilitated various non-formal education activities, and organised events for young people.
I am a member of the trainers’ pool of the Youth Council of Slovenia and a facilitator of Movit’s Role Models Network workshops.
The main areas of my training work are social inclusion, peer violence, the promotion of volunteering, active citizenship, and youth dialogue.
