Magdalena Miteva has been the “Localization and New Content” coordinator at Education without Backpacks since July 2025, coordinating activities for the development and adaptation of digital educational resources for Bulgarian students in Khan Academy. She believes knowledge should reach everyone in an easy and engaging way because education opens doors and changes lives.

Magdalena is a lawyer by education, having graduated from Sofia University “St. Clement of Ohrid.” As a trainee‑volunteer at the Foundation for Access to Rights (FAR) she discovered her vocation in the defense of human rights and the right to international protection. Since then she has gained over ten years’ experience as a lawyer specializing in migration and refugee law. Over the years she has provided legal assistance to hundreds of people and vulnerable groups and participated in dozens of projects in Bulgaria and Europe. Her professional path includes an internship at the EU Agency for Asylum (EUAA) as well as trainings and specializations in various countries across Europe.

Technology and digital content are her other passion. As head of digital engagement and editor of Refugeelight.bg, an online platform and guide for foreigners in Bulgaria, Magdalena combines her skills in law, languages and working with people with a love for digital solutions that make life easier.

She believes that when knowledge becomes more accessible and interactive, it can change not only individual lives but society as a whole.
