Here's a little description about the trainer:

Trainer, Academician, Architect/Urban Designer, Traveller and trying to be the best father.

Some call to this combination as the definition of SuperHero. Yes may be it's true, but the powers are being used only to support young individuals to reach to their dreams. Meanwhile they will be given a compass which shows how and where to use the skills about intercultural and peaceful cooperation, as well as active european citizenship when they try to look for the best future ever.
