I had lived in Čadca/ Slovakia for almost a year doing a social volunteering ERASMUS+ within the program "BROADER" (Boosting cross-border interRelations to Overcome Animosity and DEvelop human Rights education) before moving to Zilina, Slovakia. BROADER is aimed at promoting the cooperation between countries of the European Union and Latin America as well as to encourage youth participation and develop their role as promoters of intercultural and mutual understanding. This is focused on those with fewer opportunities. I consider myself suitable for being part of the process of permanent learning and transformation of people. I see it as a great opportunity for my personal learning too. In my professional life in Argentina, I have worked in cultural and educational areas which helped me to develop broad experiences and skills. Working with professionals and artists enabled me to use my education acquired at the National University of Avellaneda. The integral part of the work was to transform the ideas into actions and create projects as well as monitoring and evaluating the results. During my social volunteering in KERIC, I dedicated myself to work with children and young people which was a truly enriching experience. Through the practice of teaching English and Spanish languages, I improve my competence in preparing the lessons and curricula as well as learning different techniques and dynamics of non-formal education including interesting and nontraditional approaches to pedagogy. As a lector for young people, I had been organizing different types of training and workshops focused on important topics like discrimination, communication, environment, and equality. Furthermore, I have devoted much of my time to the studies of English, Italian and Greek languages in order to continue my work travelling abroad. I feel that I can strengthen myself and grow both personally and professionally. All these things lead me to this nomad life as a traveller and artist. I am developing a new side of myself as a ukulele musician and singer. Today it’s my desire and personal ambition to display my knowledge and experiences abroad.
