This is Kalliopi Moraiti, one of our new PhD-students
My underground degree was in Home Economics and Ecology (Harokopio University of Athens), which I completed in 2016. During my bachelor’s degree, I was an Erasmus student for two semesters at the Faculty of Economics and Geography (University of West Bohemia in the Czech Republic). Returning to Harokopio University I helped co-found a non-governmental organization of Erasmus Student Network named ESN-Haro. After graduating I conducted an Erasmus internship at the Greek Parents Association in Gothenburg where I was teaching the Greek language and the subject of Home Economics and Ecology. In 2017, I started the International Master of Educational Research at Gothenburg University. My master dissertation explored education for sustainable development through play-based learning in early childhood. During this study period, I worked as a preschool teacher in a Greek and English school. After graduating I conducted another Erasmus internship as a research assistant at Dublin City University (Centre of Human Rights and Global Citizenship) where I was engaged in projects regarding Climate Change Education.
In September 2020, I was delighted to be accepted as a PhD student in education within the research area of Learning and IT. I’m working at IPKL within the BALANCED project. I am very enthusiastic to be an active member of an academic community again. My research interests include; equality in education, teacher agency, professional learning, digitalization in schools, and digital platforms.
In my personal life, I like traveling, volunteering, and spending quality time with friends and my sisters.
