• It has already been in 30+ countries to learn about different and interesting topics - diplomacy, entrepreneurship, environment, European citizenship, ICT, project management, women empowerment, youth policies, etc. - for European and non-European citizens, so it is always able to continue traveling globally to share useful information, but also to create new networking opportunities. It can offer its well-developed networks from all over the world, since it has been working on them, day by day, since 2010.
For many years, Mr. Joaquín Martín de Saavedra Rojas has collaborated/worked with different entities related to the ALF Network like Projuven in Spain or JoveSolides in Egypt. At this very moment, after getting many positive impacts through several Asociación Extremundo's Erasmus+ projects all around Europe during the last 3 years, and also considering his passion for the international relations' area, he wants to achieve even more results and to help/support his people and others at a higher level accross the Mediterranean.
