Background

About Marek Berka

I graduated with a degree in International Business and Economics from Brno University of Technology. I participated in the Erasmus+ study exchange programme for one semester at VGTU in Vilnius. I am a native Czech speaker and am fluent in both English and Polish. I have attended numerous Erasmus+ youth exchanges and training courses, where I have also taken on roles as an organiser and trainer. Additionally, I participated in the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme in Turkey for two and a half months. Currently, I am volunteering with the LevelUP organisation in Łódź, where I assist with the coordination of Erasmus+ projects and support participants. I have completed a year-long European Solidarity Corps volunteering project in Malta at the Don Bosco Foundation, focusing on project management, coordination, proposal writing, and logistics in the field of non-formal education for youth. I am also involved with Mission: Reconnect NGO in the Czech Republic, where I contribute to the facilitation and logistics of Erasmus+ projects. Recently, I joined another NGO in the Czech Republic, Brno for You, where I will serve as a facilitator. Prior to my arrival in India, I volunteered for one month with the European Solidarity Corps in Greece, where I was part of a team responsible for creating several activities for our Youth Festival. At present, I am volunteering in India with ESC Humanitarian Aid for one year, where I work as a project manager, coordinator, and proposal writer for various grants.
