Silvia Lucia Cohn works on eco-social projects and am specialized in designing and facilitating participatory processes.

She is a DESIGNER, EDUCATOR, and ACTIVIST.

As an EDUCATOR she focuses on non-formal, public engagement, community-based, active citizenship, and early childhood education.

She considers many of the workshops she has led as a designer as educational as well as participatory experiences. She brings this format and considerations into early childhood education by making activities more collective and methods of managing conflict more inspired by the personalities of the children. She has experience mainly with preschool and adult education as both offer opportunities to be less frontal and more participatory.
