Maria Kousoula
My motivation and curiosity about organizations lead me to be a volunteer since March 2014 in various Non-Profit Organisations. Since 2015, I am working as a project manager and youthwork trainer at the NGO “T N B | Tidsnätverket i Bergsjön” in Gothenburg, Sweden and, since 2017, I am one of the founders of the informal group of young people “System & G SE” in Örebro, Sweden. Last but not least, I am a blogger for my personal website mariakousoula.com.
Maria Kousoula has 6 references for past work as a trainer.
