RESUME

Professional ​
info​​

 My name is Katerina Zachari. For more than 20 years I

worked in schools, cultural centres, multinational companies,

embassies etc.  teaching expats, executives and diplomats.

Every step in my carrier was a new challenge which brought  me

more experience and extra knowledge.
Since 2015 I am in front of a new challenge: ''Lato''. "Lato" is  a

cultural centre in Amsterdam which has the ambition to bring

Greece closer to her friends in the Nederlands.

 The use of Writing Centers is a revolutionery system in teaching and studying. With its use you can bring together knowledge and technology with amazing results. In my case I was lucky because "The Writing Center" of  H. A. University was and remains the only one in Greece.
