Head of Programmes
Igraine Rhodes
She/HerIgraine (Iggy) leads the EEF’s Programmes team and is the EEF’s Designated Safeguarding Lead.
Diana is responsible for coordinating work internally and externally on the EEF’s live projects.
During the first phase of her professional journey, Diana led over 15 grassroots educational experiments aimed at enabling South-Eastern European youth to overcome socio-economic disadvantage. Among these, Diana cherishes most her experience as the Co-creator and Programme Manager of the Alternative University – the first democratic university in Romania, and as a Programme Manager of Social Impact Award Romania – the Romanian chapter of the largest European educational programme for young social innovators.
The second phase of Diana’s journey has been a more reflective and research-intensive one. As one of the top graduates of the Education Studies BA at the UCL Institute of Education, she gained a deep appreciation of the meaningful role high-quality evidence can have in interrupting and disrupting injustice in the classroom and beyond.
