Olga Fakatseli
Dr Olga Fakatseli is very happy to support the work of the Hellenic Hub from the position of Educational and Cultural Advisor. Olga brings an extensive background in formal and informal learning and more than 25 years of experience with children and young adults. Olga worked for the Greek Ministry of Culture before taking up the post of curator of the ethnological collections at the National Historical Museum of Greece, where she remained from 1996 until 2002. From this position she set up the first educational programmes of the museum and co-developed other educational activities. In 2005, she joined Audience Focus Ltd where she was involved as a museum consultant in several blockbuster exhibitions. Olga has always thoroughly enjoyed teaching and this is apparent in her pursuing a teaching career parallel to her work as a curator and museum consultant. As a teacher she has prepared and delivered courses in Ancient and Modern Greek employing a range of learning and teaching methods, and always achieving excellent academic results. Since 2002 she teaches Modern Greek at St Sophia’s School (www.stsophiasschool.com) where she is also holding the post of Head Teacher. Olga has a first degree in Archaeology and History of Art from the University of Athens, Greece, and an MA and PhD in Museum Studies from University College London. She has contributed articles on books and journals on several aspects of art and cultural history and has participated as a speaker at seminars and conferences.
