Madi is one of the hardest working, passionate employees I have had the pleasure of working with. She is creative, resourceful and and is not scared to throw herself into any project, even if it isn't one that would ordinarily excite her. Madi is incredibly responsible and capable of taking a project from conception to completion with enthusiasm and flair. Madi is trustworthy and will be an asset wherever her future endeavours take her.

Magdalena directed creative and participatory programmes that added value to EG’s holistic educational approach while contributing to bring life to the community. With a unique style, she curated science and art events that fused intellectual knowledge with the sensory world. I highly recommend her for her professionalism, reliability and her innovative proposals. She is also a great person to work with whose ideas bring new perspectives to the team.

      It all started as an ingenious idea to draw social attention for the lack of resources for upbringing: I wrote the project, joined forces with other families, won the Maria Aurelia Capmany’s first prize, got support from UNICEF, gained national media coverage… Finally over 1,000 people with their babies participated in the ‘Marathon with baby’! It contributed to the case for legal changes, like the extension of paternity leave. • Coordinated debate groups with families and entities. • Networking: gained the collaboration of more than 30 entities and groups. • Budgeting. Production of a documentary. Organisation of the marathon. Communication.
