Markella Nizami

I'm a dedicated and innovative educator, passionate about inspiring students and fostering their academic and personal growth. With a commitment to hands-on learning and creative instruction, I strive to create inclusive and empowering learning environments where every student can thrive. As a team building instructor, by incorporating innovative teaching methods and staying abreast of the latest trends in education, I aim to ignite curiosity, cultivate a love of game-based learning, and empower students to reach their full potential.

In my first year of academic studies in 2012, I founded the volunteer group "HEL.P.A.", composed of students from the University of Patras. Our primary objective was to actively engage students from all university departments in educational, philanthropic, and social activities benefiting children in need. Additionally, we aim to promote our academic training through the organization of conferences and seminars.

Our main goal is to provide creative engagement and education to elementary, middle, and high school students, offering them enriching educational experiences. Simultaneously, we aim to bolster their self-esteem through the positive impact of our activities.

In November 2022, we were honored with an award for our assistance and contribution to the field of volunteering by the international organization SOS Children's Villages

Today, our activities extend beyond Patras, with engagements in Athens as well. We have a vision of expanding volunteering initiatives to every university in Greece, amplifying our collective impact and reach within local communities. Our core aim remains steadfast: providing dynamic educational experiences for elementary, middle, and high school students while nurturing their intellectual engagement and self-esteem through our initiatives.
