The team
Epp is an Estonia Trainer, who has been working with international youth
projects since 2001. International youth work is Epp’s passion, as she believes it
is often easier to find new inspiration and also start local activities abroad. Epp
also got involved in youth work thanks to a Youth in Action financed training
course in Germany, where she met Estonian youth workers and as a result
found a traineeship placement that started her career. Besides Estonia, Epp has
lived and studied in Finland and USA, did her EVS in Ukraine and has travelled
for work and pleasure to many parts of the world.
As a trainer Epp is an observer and loves to surprise people with their own
abilities. She believes that people already know and can do most things, they
just don’t know it. Central elements in Epp’s trainings are developing creativity,
raising self-esteem and courage, as her work with people has proven that those
are the key elements to success in any field.
Epp has founded a non-profit HeadEst in Estonia and has been running it since
2004.
Emmanuel is a French Trainer sharing is time between France and Greece. He has
started his work on international youth projects in 1997 through a Musical Youth
Exchange. Then, followed an EVS project in Greece in 1998 and after that numerous
intercultural and European mobility programs. He is a free lance worker and co-operate
among others with Musikado (from 2001), the Greek school and NGOs , the European
network ENYC (2007-2012).
From 2009 he started to tell folk fairy tales in schools, bars and cultural centers; he
leads worksops combining storytelling and French language learning.
One of his dream is to settle down in the countryside, and share his time between
getting busy with the nature, training and stories.
Frédéric or Fred is the soul of Musikado. He has founded the association with a
group of friends all fond of music. In 2003 he started with Musikado the intercultural
adventure with a musical youth exchange. In 2009 Musikado hosted its first EVS
volunteer.
He is manager of the music studio of Brioude, plays the guitar, drums, djembe and is
very active in different associative bodies of Brioude.
His dream is to spend his time gathering mushrooms in the countryside of Auvergne
and further.
