👋 Hi, I’m Marine Galvez
I’m a facilitator, curriculum designer, and passionate believer that education must empower learners to critically, collaboratively, and creatively rethink what we consider “normal.”
For the past 10+ years, I have been on a quest to learn everything I can about critical pedagogy, both as a student and a teacher in the field. I have had the opportunity to design and deliver workshops for hundreds of students and teachers in schools, as well as adults across sectors in corporate settings. All of this experience has helped me develop repeatable processes and frameworks for creating highly participatory experiences that allow participants to challenge dominant narratives.
I am excited to share these impactful tools with you and help you elevate your classroom into an (even more) transformational space for learning!
