Working with the young generation, for the young generation has always been a passion to me.
I have channeled this passion in volunteering for active youth participation and civic engagement at the Greek, award-winning organization, Youthnet Hellas from 2009 to 2015 as Communications & Public Relations Officer, while organizing and delivering relative workshops and training. Currently, I am volunteering as a mentor for the organization Women On Top, working for the professional empowerment of women and equality in the workplace.
I have started being engaged in academic teaching activities while I was a Ph.D. researcher, delivering academic lectures for Bachelor's students. During my Post-Doc research assignment at the ADA University in Baku-Azerbaijan, I have designed and delivered a Seminar course about the EU Energy Politics & Policy for 2nd year Master's students.
Since 2020, I am a Research & Teaching Associate at the School of Transnational Governance (STG) at the European University Institute (EUI) involved in the design and the delivery of two Seminar Master courses about climate change governance and climate policy instruments while, also, involved in the preparation of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Carbon Markets: Examining EU Policies for Transnational Climate Action.
For the last 5 years, I have delivered lectures at the University of Amsterdam and the University of Luxembourg.
In May 2020, I have accepted the invitation from the Young Leaders in Energy and Sustainability (YES Europe) to act as a coach in the Climathon they have arranged. The theme was to find solutions to sustainability issues and to create a more sustainable world after COVID-19. Over 48 hours 300 participants took part and created amazing 34 solutions.
In February 2022, I have delivered a training on the Fit for 55 package. The webinar was hosted by YES Europe and the discussion revolved around the social implications of the EU’s pathway towards climate neutrality.
