Mini Bio

Here you will find a short description of my work.

Open Education

The future of education is ‘open’.

Why shall we collaborate?

Due to my international experience in Europe and in developing countries, I have a round perspective of a variety of education settings. I contextualise global trends to local needs and focus on prompting innovation at all organisation levels.

Quotes that inspire me…

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” Benjamin Franklin
