She loves travelling and she started her career as a cabin crew. So if you ever happen to travel for a project meeting with her you can make sure that you travel safely. She has also worked in an aquarium, developing educational projects for young learners – did you know that Nemo, the clown fish, finds their own anemone at the bottom of the sea and recognises it as their “home”? She has also lived in the Netherlands where she was working as a mobility project manager for French schools, practising her bicycle riding skills in winter conditions. She enjoys buying books – not always reading them, cooking Asian food, walking in Athens in August, discussing philosophical theories with friends and learning new hobbies. She loves her peace, and her headphones and she cannot imagine a life without her Spotify subscription.

Maria Koutsonanou

Development Manager

Maria’s background is in Psychology, where she holds a Bachelor’s and 2 Master’s degrees, in Clinical & Community Psychology and Research Methods & Evolutionary Psychology respectively. She has trained in existential psychotherapy and later explored substance abuse counselling, and political, critical, feminist and liberation psychology, to reach two conclusions. First, a growing suspicion that you can hack life by being both present and a “silly goose” and second, that she enjoys research (even –or maybe especially- googling random things, like the inner workings of a fridge). Being a junior Project Manager at AKMI allows for a combination of her passion for research along with her interest in intercultural human relations and actions that foster opportunities for education, inclusion and diversity. She speaks Greek, German & English and once upon a blue moon, took French and Spanish together, so as to fuse them and forget them. She is a serial crafter (knitting, candle making, cosmetics), jack of all but master of none, and her care language includes cooking for her dog and preparing song playlists for her friends.

Eva Vaiouli

Head of Development

Eva holds a BSc in International, European and Regional Studies, while she has recently completed her MSc in International and European Policy on Education, Training, and Research. She was born in Larisa, which is her “quiet place” and she often gets homesick, but she is secretly in love with Athens’ vibe, where she lives for the last 9 years. As a volunteer of the Hellenic Red Cross, where she has been a teacher for migrant children, and a hospitality aide for unaccompanied children, she has developed a great interest in Children’s Rights and Protection. Her friends and colleagues admire her for staying so calm in hard situations, while people on LinkedIn endorse her for teamwork and time management. However, she would prefer to be endorsed for her excellent performance in board games and her -not so excellent- vocal skills. She enjoys learning new things, visiting new places, tasting new flavors, and watching old TV series, and she cannot imagine a life without love, coffee and wine. She is fluent in Greek (mother tongue), English and French.
