TOY - Trainers Online for Youth
http://trainers.salto-youth.net/CarolinaCaspa/
I’m a passionate professional with over 10 years of experience in international youth work, volunteering, and non-formal education. I thrive in multicultural environments, and I'm deeply committed to community building, cultural exchange, and sustainability. I've developed programmes and led teams across the health, civil society, and education sectors, with a strong focus on Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programmes.
I am currently moving between Denmark, Iceland, and Portugal.
