Brief
M.Sc. in Social Psychology at the University of Florence (Italy) with a thesis research on migrants’ multiple national identities in Europe and intercultural encounters carried out at the University of Malta. Born in Middle East and raised in Europe, I have developed a deep interest in the situation of migrants and asylum seekers, European identity, intercultural encounters, social empowerment, and labelling theory. Specialising in social communication and project management, I work as an independent contractor with SMEs, research institutes, and non-profit organisations. I have been performing voluntary service by supporting social inclusion of Persian-speaking migrants into the European community since 2010. Areas of professional expertise and personal interests include social entrepreneurship, ITC, psychological counselling, non-formal and informal learning methods and creativity.
