A convite do Nos Jornal da Reitoria da Universidade do Minho, onde estudei Psicologia entre 1998 e 2003, o projeto Globetrotter participou numa entrevista, para a rubrica do mesmo Jornal Online, "Percursos", sobre antigos estudantes da mesma Universidade, com percurso inovadores. Foi muito bom sentir, que a Universidade do Minho, tem a preocupação de fazer um follow-up, nem que seja mais informal, dos seus antigos alunos e partilhà-lo com a comunidade académica a nível nacional e não só. Gostei muito de ter participado, pois tive a oportunidade de partilhar as experiências de educação não formal que tenho vivido para um setting de educação mais formal como uma Universidade.
Obrigada e boas leituras!

As an invitation of the Journal of the Dean of the University of Minho, where I studied Psychology between 1998 and 2003, the project Globetrotter participated in an interview, for the line of the same Online Journal, "Courses", about former students of the same University, with innovative course. It was very good to feel that the University of Minho is concerned to follow-up, even if it is more informal, of its former students and share it with the academic community at national level and beyond. I really enjoyed having participated because I had the opportunity to share the experiences of non-formal education that I have lived for a more formal education setting such as a University. Thank you and good readings!

Hi there!
My name is Simone and I come from Portugal, but currently I am living in Austria. I am a Psychologist, specialized in Sport Psychology, but as well postgraduated in Waldorf Pedagogy. I was always curious about traveling abroad and living in other countries was always a goal for me to reach. After University, I decided to participate in diferent Youth Exchanges mainly in Europe, and as well to make a Leonardo Da Vinci in Italy, in the field of the Sport Psychology at the Unviersitá Degli Studi di Padova. After that I went to Germany to be an European Volunteer at Parzivalschulen, a Waldorf School in Karlsruhe for one year long. Here I got to know diferent approaches to education, from Waldorf Pedagogy to Montessori and Forest Pedagogy. Since then I started to plan a way to find out, research and learn a bit more about alternative educational projects. I got the possibility to organize my own first travel and research project with a co-financial fund from the "Youth In Action Program",about alternative education in Europe. I started my journey through an Interrail with a global ticket for Europe, visiting Waldorf, Montessori and Forest Kindergartens and schools, some Ecovillages and other Projects that promote a sustainable lifestyle and an holistic education.I was travelling in diferent countries in Europe, like Norway, Sweden, Finland,
Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, France, Spain and Portugal. In the Summer of 2015, I started the visits worldwide, with a first experience and opportunity at the Green School Bali, in Indonesia, participating as a Volunteer. In the next years, the Globetrotter Project pretends to continue to travel and visit more Alternative Schools or Communities Worldwide.
