In her youth Belinda travelled around the world before she became a teacher. She saw how important relations between generation were all over. Belinda has devoted her life to teaching and has been always curious of how and when children learn. Her motto is that school and the good life that we create together is a gift and should last a lifetime. She is convinced that social innovation and entrepreneurship help children to obtain a feeling of "I can" which leads them to contribute to society.
