Born in Belarus, raised in the Netherlands. I finished my Bachelor Organization and Governance Studies and got a Masters in Russian Studies. Went back to Belarus 1,5 year ago to discover and develop. I founded together with a friend a project called SocStarter. An International training program and a competition for social entrepreneurs. What started as a small program has been developed into a well known platform for people that initiate social projects to solve different problems. We got many partners such as UNDP. Besides a training program SocStarter is also a link between social businesses and the private and public sphere. We have trained in total more then 100 social entrepreneurs and have send 6 social entrepreneurs to the Netherlands as to discover the Dutch social business culture.
