Workshop Facilitation:
In addition to these formal teaching experiences, I have been designing and facilitating popular education workshops since 2000. I began using popular education techniques for English language classes with community development organizations in Slovakia. From 2006 to 2008, I worked as a part-time educator at the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment, leading interactive workshops on urban planning and urban studies for elementary, middle and high school students. In total, I have facilitated over 100 participatory workshops, strategic planning meetings, and other community meetings.
