Silvia Cerrada Jimenez

Usually smile a lot more because I believe in creating positive connections to others and so mirror neurons and eye contacting generates powerful impact in education. 

Originally Spanish, I am an academic in creative sector Interior Design and MA in Theatre Design also MA in Cultural Management. In addition to a degree on Arabic studies and PGCE knowledge.

It is being several years that I am working in education from a previous role in theatre setting up and props. Whilst my career in education I have worked on wider ranges of compulsory education with private and public agencies on Nursery, Primary, Secondary and alternative education. This has been delivered accross in UK and abroad in Spain, Italy and Algeria. In conjunction with other agencies and developing my pwn project I have been acting as educational actor in creating educational policies for a social scheme  in networking.  I am passionate how culture is reflected in many different areas or aspects inspiring new supporting educational trends promoting and uplifting welfare. Many thanks.
