Mari Prytz Malmanger
I am deeply curious about people and what shapes their lives and experiences.
I enjoy trying new things, building meaningful connections, and gaining a deeper understanding of myself and others.
I find encounters between people engaging and rewarding, and I am continually inspired by the privilege of supporting and witnessing others on their personal journeys.
Mari Prytz Malmanger has 4 references for past work as a trainer.

Educational pathway
Bachelor in Social Work, 2005 - 2008

Have taken a part of different Erasmus+ trainings and other Erasmus + related gatherings:
