Education
The true science and study of man is man. – said Pierre Charron. In addition to noticing other human beings, I also dare to learn thoroughly about various aspects of their functioning.
In addition to formal education, there is a whole set of courses, trainings and educational workshops that I have had the opportunity to participate in and graduate from. Treating them as part of personal development, I frequently do not document what and when. Hence below you’ll a selection of my education.

What you graduate shapes your thinking?
I heard this statement once in Germany, when asked why they always put their education at the top of their CVs. Isn’t experience more crucial, just like they do at it in the US, I thought? – What you study shapes what you are – I heard, and years after, I need to admit that there is a grain of truth in it.
