Project experience
I have been cooperating with the Council of Europe's language institutions for several years and am accordingly familiar with their work. On a national and international level, I have coordinated several projects with very diverse partners, and am capable of handling diversity and the partner's strengths and weaknesses. I also have the necessary theoretical background, a broad curricular view (from primary to tertiary education), as well as the ability to plan, execute and finish projects; I enjoy communicating and feel at ease in an international context.
