– A blend of visual arts and Nordic adventures –
For years I was obsessed with my professional career. I just thought about how to be more productive, and the steps to take to remain in the scientific system and do what I loved.
One day, I started to doubt if I wanted to pursue the academic path any longer. And the crisis appeared. Suddenly the floor disappeared, the certainties also, my identity was in jaque…
I am originally from Argentina, so I am Latin and my mother tongue is Spanish. The official language in Sweden is Swedish, a North Germanic language spoken predominantly here and in some parts of Finland.
So, I live between languages, and English is the bridge that allows me to communicate on a daily basis. It is also the language that I hope will help me reach the readers I want to connect with: Swedes and expats.
I love to learn and Sweden feels like a paradise for lifelong learners. Sweden has a strong history of non-formal adult education that has existed for more than a hundred years. It is called non-formal because, in general, it doesn’t lead to any formal degree and it is based on the participants’ interests and needs to learn. This kind of education is available to everyone, it is free from government intervention and receives public support. This sounds good… Let’s dig a bit deeper.
