Researcher/Trainer
Verso Foundation 

Since 2017 I am a collaborator of Fondazione Verso, a foundation that promotes educational and training projects that encourage the harmonious development of the personality, and of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the person within their community. Verso's work is inspired by the approach on education offered by Psychosynthesis, a transpersonal model of psychology created by Roberto Assagioli. In his words: “To educate does not mean to fill minds with extraneous material, but to kindle the inner fire present in everyone”.

​Proyecto Los Quinchos - Nicaragua 
In March 2018 I assisted psychotherapist and educator Andrea Bocconi in the delivery of a training for educators of the organisation Los Quinchos. This organisation created and run a series of homes for the rescue and support of street children fleeing domestic abuse and drug addiction. VERSO supports the project with funding and by offering training opportunities to the staff.
