Jonas Sylvester Kaspersen
I am a trainer to learn and laugh with others.
Grew up on a Danish island. Drove a bicycle alone to Dortmund. Coached football in Swaziland. Fell in love with non-formal learning in Armenia. Failed in selling juice at Campus. Learned to dance along with life in Colombia. Became a perplexed academic. Found good in the favela. Made evaluation fun in Rio. Ran for elections with one month notice. Now building community creating social and environmental impact with juggling, cycling and coffee.
Jonas Sylvester Kaspersen has 5 references for past work as a trainer.
