About:

Some people think that working with young people is difficult. I would say it is not difficult if you behave as a human being, if you are motivated and if you are a leader. Following this, my favourite definition of the leadership is: "To inspire others to go into action by being the example"

Marius POP has 3 references for past work as a trainer and added 2 tools to the SALTO Toolbox.
