Address: PITTAKOU 44
Country: Greece
My studies began at the department of Technological Applications in Kozani (Greece), specializing in Electrical Engineering. I continued my studies in SELETE (School of Pedagogical and Technological Education), where I trained to be a teacher and got a Master in Adult Education from the Hellenic Open University. I have worked for 13 years as a tutor in secondary school education, the next 12 years as an IT trainer of adults and during the last 5 years as a headmaster of the School of Second Chance of Mytilene. At the same time I am working as an evaluator of adult training programs and as a coordinator of a European project on peer mentoring. For the last two years I have volunteered in providing solidarity and relief to immigrants and refugees mainly from Syria, Pakistan and Afghanistan, who have been massively arriving at my island (Lesvos), always in the context of adult education and support.
