Description

About Andreu:
Hi! I'm Andreu. I was born in a small village in the Pyrenees of Spain 28 years ago.
I studied Biology, and I worked as a science teacher in a high school in Barcelona for three years. I am passionate about nature, animals, plants and hiking in the mountains. I also love education and children. I have worked as a volunteer for nine years as a facilitator of out-of-school activities, games and education for children and teenagers.
I am a quiet person, I am interested in reading and meditation, and in getting to know new cultures. I like to create things with my hands, draw and paint. I am currently travelling in Southeast Asia, as travelling brings together many of my hobbies! I am a positive person, and although a bit shy sometimes, I love learning new skills and sharing my own.

About Pat:
I am Pat and I was born in Barcelona in May 1989. I studied journalism at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and I have worked in creative and corporate communication for companies and non-profit foundations for 9 years.
I also have worked as a volunteer as a children's chaperone in non-profit spaces and projects based on leisure time education in Catalonia, Spain.
Generating spaces of conscious education, respectful with childhood and adolescence is a very important vocational branch for me.
I have also been trained as a facilitator of tools for a holistic vision of education, body expression and meditation.
Besides writing, I like to develop my creativity in many other ways: by using basic design tools I can dedicate myself to create a branding kit for projects and design strategic communication and marketing plans.
I also really enjoy manual work and simple tasks: cooking, cleaning, tidying up... I really value volunteer offers of physical work.
While I was studying, I had experience in customer service in the retail sector and in events.
In general, I like to contribute to creating a pleasant atmosphere, welcoming people, listening, and exchanging knowledge…

More details about your skills

About Andreu: I am good at creating things with my hands, especially painting, drawing and making small home decorations.
I have been a science teacher for three years. For nine years I have been working as a volunteer with children and teenagers, promoting educational activities and games.
I have no experience of farming, gardening or taking care of animals, but I am a biologist, passionate about nature and don't mind getting my hands dirty. These are tasks I would love to do.
I have no experience in construction, but I like physical work. I believe that exercise is good for your health.
I speak Spanish, Catalan and English and I like to talk and learn new things.

About Patricia:
For the last few years, my main focus has been on content management, copywriting, and strategic communications for non-profit projects. I write articles of different genres and help other people write their outreach work.
What I enjoy most is creative writing: copywriting for advertisements, promotions, campaigns, etc. I also enjoy encouraging people to write about their own knowledge and experiences. When it comes to writing, I have no problem writing in English with the help of some translation tools and online grammar editors.
I have also been involved in shooting and editing videos for social media (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, web editing, etc.).
I have been working for many years in the field of childcare through play and values: through the application of some knowledge and experience, I create safe spaces to connect with children and young people, dynamics, games, spaces for reflection, and self-awareness of one's own abilities. I believe that a new way of educating the new generations, which includes their protection and their natural rights, is the tool for changing the world.
Other things I like: cooking, space clearing, cleaning...
