Do you have any experience in similar project?  

​

Recently I took part in an Erasmus+ project mobility of youth workers. It called "Informal learning - Expanding the horizon for future generation”. The host organization - European Association for Audiovisual Communications. It was in Sofia. Another project was in Spain it was called Youth Re-Action- Developing Media Literacy, organized by "Pulpo de 5 Patas". 

​

What's your motivation in taking part to this TC (Training Course)?

​

I had a teaching experience at school, also lectured at various organizations. I realized how important non-formal education methods are.  In the international projects I realized how cool it is, as well as how well the historical knowledge is suitable for these methods. Now I continue to introduce this knowledge into our educational projects. However, often you forget why it all started. This program is for me an opportunity to find inspiration for teaching. Get new knowledge and skills, prove to yourself that what I study really does make sense and can help people. Now, the most important project for me is to create a real educational platform for such people as me - ambitious, willing to develop constantly, but who do not know how to realize their abilities. I am currently studying the experience of American business schools, where they teach management based on specific historical battles. This is a perfect example of how to apply unusual historical knowledge. And I want to do something similar.

​

What are your main expectations regarding your participation in this training course? How do you envisage to incorporate what you have learnt during the TC in your work?

​

I hope to learn new methods of non-formal education, as well as teaching methods, and to get new experience in working with young people. But the most important thing is to find inspiration working in an intercultural environment. Also interesting for me is the topic of entrepreneurship. I read a lot about it, but I would like to learn how it can be taught to others and constantly improve.

​

Please describe your knowledge and experience on entrepreneurship.

​

I have no enterpreneurship experience, but I would like to engage in educational projects that can be profitable, as well as publishing. At the moment, I am studying these topics and want to implement my projects. I read a lot about it, but unfortunately I do not have enough practical knowledge. This is one of the reasons why I decided to become a member of this project.
