Marija Groza

About:

I love working in an international environment. In the past, I have been working as a trainer, facilitator, and organizer in projects that are co-funded by the Erasmus+ program. In February 2018 came the decision to establish the non-governmental organization LAYA.
My main driving force in working with youth is seeing the individual versatile development and the expanded horizons of the participants.

Marija Groza has 3 references for past work as a trainer.
