Testimonials for Costa Georgiadis
Costa’s ability to connect with the community and be relatable and personable were evident in his presentations. The Lake Macquarie community were overjoyed to have Costa visit their city and the festival attendance reflected this with over 25000 attendees over the course of the day. We would happily have Costa back at our event in the future.
Lake Macquarie City Council
Although we have yet to receive the results of the email evaluations, it was clear that participants were highly engaged in Costa’s session. He is exceptionally energetic and enthusiastic and successfully uses every minute of his time. He had an excellent rapport with our teacher participants and was well attuned to their needs in education for sustainability from early learning through upper secondary. Costa presented quite profound ideas and then provided many simple practical strategies. The IEU also appreciated Costa’s warm interaction with our participants and his generosity in responses to people both during and after his session.
