My PhD is about “Physical Activity and Sport as a tool to promote interculturalism in post-conflict contexts, within Cooperation for Development. A project run and evaluated in Guatemala”. I research and lecture in the areas of the so-called Sport for Development and Peace and research methodologies in vulnerable contexts. Since 1999 till today, I am involved in field assessment, implementation, evaluation, research and coordination of different projects in the so-called global south.
