Our Team

Nikolas Nikolaou (Project Manager)

Nikolas Nikolaou (president of NGO ACPELIA) plays a central or peripheral role in every project with his expert knowledge. Due to the fact that he is successful as a coach and organizer in his personal life as we can see from the small CV that follows he is going to have 2 evenings training of youth workers about his experience in coaching.

President of our Organization (Mr Nikolas Nikolaou, physics teacher in high school, BSC, MSc in Chemical Engineering National Technical University of Athens and MSc, BSc in the University of Cyprus at Physics department) has previous experience by taking part in many seminars and actions related to Environment, Non-Formal Education, Entrepreneurship and Discrimination. He organized and participated in more than 40 European programs which are doing with Non-Formal Education (KA105, KA152YOU, KA153YOU, KA229, Youth In Action) as well as several local environmental and Science projects with groups of young people, many of them can be found in his website: www.nikolas-nikolaou.net. Also, Nikolas is coordinating the biggest students and teacher annual Conference about Natural Sciences that is a yearly conference in Cyprus with the participation of more than 1000 students and more than 300 teachers. He manages to coach a team of the organising committee and to make them all do well for 10 years now that is taking place the Conference starting alone and now has a big team to coordinate.

If i had to describe my life purpose in one word it would be "healing". Through all possible means because I want all people to be as happy, healthy and calm as possible. My voice has been my own tool for healing for years and I have noticed how powerful singing can be for healing multiple times. I sing alone and I sing in circles with others. I am on a big journey of discovering my voice as a singer and songwriter, as a woman, as a human being. Here in this project I will share what I have already learned and practiced with young people. I am sure that this experience will allow each participant of the project (me including) to deepen our contact of our voices and make them stronger for our individual happiness, for the benefit of our communities and all humanity.
