"We live once. But every day"
The most interesting "thing" in this world for me is a person: a learning, working and growing person.
Within the framework of international youth work there are many opportunities for persons to grow and I am very happy to support them along their ways by experiential learning, holistic approach, inner readiness based competence development and other ways a la non formal learning.
Monika Kezaite-Jakniuniene has 4 references for past work as a trainer.

Work experience
I have been involved in youth work and training since 1999.
Volunteering was my entry to youth work, where I started as mentor, tutor and coordinator of local and international volunteers. This field still remains the area where I train practitioners and organisations to be more competent in employing volunteering as a tool for personal, professsional, organisational and community development.
Another area of my professional activity is supporting learning within individual relationship (coaching, mentoring, supervision). I'm specifically employing this in my work with youth workers for their competence development.
Besides, I have experience working withing such topics as: team development, experiential learning, intercultural communication and learning, personal development, learning organisations, project management etc.
Educational pathway
