MARICARMEN ALMARCHA | The connectivity of training, health and school

Apr 22, 2025

The labels “coach”, “researcher”, “professor”, “co-designer”… fall short when it comes to describing Maricarmen Almarcha, who was born in Murcia, graduated in Barcelona, and now living in Australia. Aligned with her authenticity: last year, she published not one, but two (!) disruptive PhDs that challenge the status quo of the education field and the one of health and exercise promotion; two fields not as different as society might think. Now starts the conversation in Spanish. The English version, in the YouTube video of the episode.
