Nola Ellen Education, Training & Consultancy

trauma and displacement, child rights, child participation, interfaith and intercultural dialogue, child voice, racial equality, inclusion and diversity. Nola’s education and career path has been built around a strong life-long passion for working frontline with people from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. Her interest in the wellbeing of people across the world was the impetus to work towards a career in youth and community development. Nola holds a BSocSc in Social Anthropology from the University of Manchester and an MSc in Development Studies from The London School of Economics and Political Science. Her career has been built upon these strong academic foundations. Her commitment to an experiential understanding of modern issues affecting marginalised communities has led her to volunteer and work with numerous community organisations. As well as her academic background, Nola has over 15 years practice-based experience working as a specialist practitioner with children and young people and disadvantaged and minority ethnic communities. Her extensive experience of designing and delivering a range of programmes, both universal and targeted, has promoted the wellbeing of children and community groups. She has led on projects ranging from small, grass-roots organisations to leading national children’s charities in the UK, to World Vision International, the largest children’s charity in the world. After spending many years working in a variety of voluntary and paid positions helping disadvantaged groups and communities, Nola took a leap of faith and launched her own training and consultancy service. Since 2015 she has immersed herself in the joy of entrepreneurship whilst embracing what she loves most - helping others to discover and grow. Her vision, to share her passion, knowledge and experience, and help others to create more inclusive communities, is built on fifteen years in youth and community work. She offers bespoke training, workshops, as well as presentations, and can assist with the design and facilitation of projects. This range of services is available to those in pursuit of professional development, for individuals, groups of children and young people, schools or organisations. Nola Ellen's services are delivered with a commitment to make an impact in the lives of others through more inclusive and sustainable outcomes.
