Maria Butyka
I am passionate about Experiential Learning for more then 18 years. I am facilitating groups in formal and non-formal contexts using different methodologies as outdoor, adventure education or Service Learning. I am especially involved as manager, trainer, facilitator or educational resources developer in programs that tackles active citizenships, human right or sustainable development. I am mostly active in Romania, but the program and organizations I have been serving have programs that has impact across the globe as: New Horizons Foundation, A.R.T. Fusion Association, World Vision International, WWF, etc. I am also an Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps beneficiary and trainer in the Romanian National Pool of Trainers. When it comes to my work in solidarity, I love to see how a little seed in the right moment, the right environment and with a bit of support can grow into a beautiful person.
