Sintija Lase
You cannot change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust the sails to always reach your destination. /J.Dean/ This simple regularity works both in sailing and education, youth development, entrepreneurship, communication and strategic partnerships. I have this urge to unfold sleeping resources, connect the dots that have not been connected (yet) and build new bridges between sectors, communities and people. #SAIL4youth #ComICS #EVS #InnovationClusterForEntrepreneurshipEducation
Sintija Lase has 9 references for past work as a trainer.
