http://trainers.salto-youth.net/mara-rodrigues/
I am a pationate person for discovering and understanding the world amoung us. I believe in the power of human relations as a channel to make a better world - tolerant and equal. I am a trainer who loves to share what I know, learning from people, developing creative tools and skills which can help to manage the challenges of the society. I finished my master in International Relations (in english), with a paper work about "Creativity in International Relations". The world is my confort zone.
