A glimpse through my perspective

To get to know me a bit better:

Teaching/education, dance and arts have been my passions since I was a child (a very curious and active one, according to my mother): I used every opportunity to do a show or put someone at a “school desk”.

After secondary school, I studied pedagogy and sociology and finished with two

theses first one on international education and the second one on multicultural

families.

I was working for a couple of years in primary schools, on educational projects, and

in dance schools in my hometown Maribor. My main area in these years has been

vulnerable groups of students with learning, emotional, and social problems, as

well as migrant students and families.

I worked as well in the EU program: "Raising Social and Cultural Capital in Primary

Schools.

As a dancer and dance teacher on the side, I also got to organize school events and

performances, which I loved to do.

In my first working years, I added Dance and creative movement certification and

did a couple of seminars on Art Therapy organized by JSKD Slovenia.

In the 4+ years in Cali, Colombia, I studied hard and became a salsa dancer and

teacher and broadened my horizons with other dance styles. Throughout all my

time in Cali I volunteered with the Foundation Casa Naranja as a dance teacher and

choreographer.

In Colombia I ended up working as an English through the arts teacher at the Cali

Waldorf school for a year, and then I joined the National program for Bilingual

education with the Ministry of Education of Colombia. In this last teaching job I got

unforgettable experiences.
