Our colleague Stavroula speaking
Why do you work at Edufax?
“My name is Stavroula and I grew up in Greece. I have worked as a teacher with children from all age groups, as well as a parent coach. The last years, I have lived in the Netherlands, where I completed my Masters’ in the field of Pedagogy and Inclusive Education. I have had the opportunity to work with expat families who moved to the Netherlands for short- or long term.
Through this personal contact with the families, I was able to understand the struggles families face when moving abroad- from finding the best educational pathways for their children to building a life from scratch in a new environment. This, in combination with my personal experience as an international in the Netherlands, triggered a strong desire in me to assist families throughout their journey and provide them with the support they need, so that the children, as well as parents, get the most positive experience from this transition.
Having this inner drive, interest in cultures and love for education, Edufax is the best choice for me. Being passionate about education, I am fascinated by the different educational systems around the world, how these impact students’ experiences through transition phases and how we can best navigate this process, to ensure their smooth academic development and the overall well-being of the family. Therefore, Edufax offers me this opportunity to dive in, identify families’ needs, assist them through that process and develop programmes that allow this community of Third Culture Kids to reap the benefits of their experiences and make them assets in their lives. “
