Current occupation

Project manager/ trainer

Work experience

For over 10 years, I have worked as a consultant in European project engineering and as a trainer specialising in Erasmus+ (KA1 and KA2) and OFAJ programmes. My expertise lies at the intersection of non-formal education, social inclusion and innovation. Through my work, I design and implement educational projects that foster civic engagement, cultural diversity and personal development.

I have coordinated and contributed to numerous projects, including youth exchanges and mobility programmes for youth workers, focused on inclusion, leadership and diversity. These initiatives create collaborative learning environments in which young people and professionals strengthen key competencies such as project management, intercultural communication and active participation. Within Universal View, I have also been involved in projects addressing civic engagement, sustainability and the employability of marginalised youth.

I design and facilitate workshops in English, French and Spanish on topics including diversity and equity, human rights, postcolonialism and the social implications of emerging technologies. Using participatory methods such as role-playing, simulations, group work and facilitated debates, I promote experiential and collaborative learning adapted to the needs of participants, with a strong focus on critical thinking and empowerment.

As the founder of Niamato Consulting, I support associations, schools and international organisations in the development of European cooperation projects. My work includes project design, partnership building, funding strategies and proposal drafting. I also provide translation and linguistic support (English–French–Spanish) for calls for proposals and project documentation, ensuring clarity and accessibility throughout the submission process.

A significant part of my work focuses on supporting marginalised and diverse groups. I regularly work with young migrants, refugees and cultural or religious minorities, creating inclusive learning spaces that value lived experiences and encourage active participation. I also train professionals such as educators and social workers on diversity management, intercultural approaches and social inclusion, with the aim of reducing barriers and fostering mutual understanding.

My current and future work priorities include:

Developing innovative training approaches integrating digital tools in a critical and ethical way

Designing international exchange projects that promote intercultural dialogue and inclusion

Leading Erasmus+ initiatives focused on non-formal education, sustainability and social innovation

Building transnational partnerships to strengthen project quality and long-term impact

Through non-formal education and international cooperation, I seek to contribute to more inclusive, resilient and socially responsible practices across European contexts.
