Summary
Marilena Koliavasili is a PMP® Project Manager and participatory cultural practitioner specializing in the design and delivery of learning and exchange processes for cities and organizations.
She works at the intersection of culture, community engagement and project implementation, supporting stakeholders in translating participation into concrete, transferable outcomes.
Her practice focuses on low-threshold participatory approaches that enable diverse groups to engage through narrative, sensory and place-based methods. These processes generate tangible outputs (such as collective “Atlases”, facilitation tools and reusable learning formats) that can be directly applied and adapted by local teams.
With over 20 years of experience in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and involvement in EU programme evaluation, she combines facilitation with strong structuring capacity, ensuring alignment with project objectives, timelines and expected results.
Her expertise is particularly relevant for initiatives working on identity, social cohesion, community participation and culture-led urban development, where there is a need to move from one-off engagement to structured, repeatable processes.
