Who we are

Collectiva Diversità is an initiative of Christina Ioanna Nikolopoulou and Mary Itsego.

The idea was born from the meeting of two paths: pedagogy and music on one side, organizational development and counselling on the other. The shared starting point was the thought that creation, learning and self-awareness move forward better within a group. From that thought the first workshops began.
