Share and create

A space to share artistic moments and help to build a society influenced by pedagogical approaches that places the learner and creativity at the centre of education!






About Me

A multidimensional being perhaps? Throughout the years I have been able to experience a wide variety of job roles, one of those closest to my heart being an arts and drama facilitator. I have also enjoyed using art as a form of self-expression and healing, but I have also been able to do it with other beings around me. For more than 10 years I have been sharing the joys of creating and experimenting through these artistic forms with children and young people from several backgrounds living in London.

For more than four years, I also worked within mainstream education as a learning support assistant, engaging young people with a wide range of special educational and emotional needs in learning. With all its challenges, I could see that within this role, creativity also came as one of the most important tools of expression and communication. 

More recently, I have worked as an MFL Teacher within secondary schools, which also influenced my practice, as I observed that what young people need is to be able to create and innovate within the subject knowledge, not only to keep them motivated, but to make sure that they can learn effectively and reuse the knowledge gained.

After all this experience, I feel that my role is not only create but also to bring this experience to other beings who can gain a sense of achievement to become more confident about who they are and what they can do. Also, I feel that through my work children, young people and learners are more able to “learn to learn”, a skill that can be applied to any subject anywhere in the world. 

At present I am integrating all the elements above, including creativity, leadership building and a healthy environment into a participant-centered pedagogical approach  that can help learners to become limitless.
