About Maria Belen

Especialista en comunicación intercultural y género con base en Barcelona, formada entre Argentina, Alemania y España.

Me especializo en formación intercultural para España y Alemania en la intersección entre comunicación intercultural, DEI e igualdad de género — con una perspectiva interseccional y poscolonial desarrollada a partir de un Máster en Mujeres, Género y Ciudadanía (Universitat de Barcelona, 2026).

Con más de 2.200 horas de experiencia en el diseño e impartición de programas de idiomas, formación corporativa y docencia académica, trabajo en la intersección de dos campos que habitualmente van separados: la comunicación intercultural y los estudios de género.

Mis servicios incluyen:
• Programas de integración cultural para profesionales en movilidad (España, Alemania, Argentina)
• Formación en DEI y género para equipos internacionales
• Comunicación intercultural y dinámicas de equipos globales
• Consultoría en género: planes de igualdad, protocolos de selección inclusiva
