I am a facilitator, a trainer, and researcher bridging theory and practice working in the area of democratic practice, education, intercultural communication, and governance and leadership training and have 30 years of professional practice in diverse fields.
As the Pedagogical Consultant for the Pestalozzi Programme of the Council of Europe, I coordinated international professional development a learning for teachers and I facilitate a pan-European community of practice geared towards democratic competence, and educational issues related to living together in mutual understanding.
Today, I am the president of the NGO Learn to Change, Change to learn (L2C) , a Phd candidate at Háskóli Íslands School of Education and still a consultant.
At L2C, we facilitate teacher professional development and learning and lead a Community of practice. We act to develop democratic practices in all walks of life, in school, workplace, family, community… We favour whole school and community approaches for living democratic cultures.
My other partners are the European Commission, the European Wergeland Center (Norway), European Universities, the City of Strasbourg and French training institutions, museums, for teachers, other education professionals and social workers.
Prior to my international work, I worked in Paris (France) and Seattle (U.S.A.), Senegal & Mali… in poor relinquished neighbourhoods, with immigrant and refugee communities, giving voice to those who are disenfranchised; giving tools helping marginalized communities to organize, learn and have their dignity restored by their active participation, in accord with my personal and ethical, political commitment to social justice.
