Biographical Abstracts

I am an associate professor at the Faculty of Education, Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. I am focusing primarily on volunteering, service-learning, the nonprofit sector in Slovak conditions, and participatory approaches in social work. I am the author of several publications and research studies in these areas. Since 2013, I have coordinated the service-learning strategy at MBU. I have been actively working in advocacy and development of volunteering and service-learning since 2002. I can be considered one of the most prominent experts in volunteering and civic engagement in Slovakia and some European countries. I prepared several strategic and legislative documents on volunteering. Thanks to my involvement in all documents, is university/school-community partnership is incorporated as one of the principles of volunteering and civic engagement and volunteering development.  Since 2011, I have been the vice president of the Platform of Volunteer Centers and Organizations and am currently president. I coordinated several international and national projects. I also act as a volunteer management and service-learning trainer, a project evaluator, a facilitator, a consultant and a supervisor. I am a graduate of the Fulbright program, a member of the Government Council for Nongovernmental Organizations, a member of the Board of the Directors of the European Association on Service-learning in Higher Education, and a member of the Service-Learning Network for Central and Eastern Europe.
