The social entrepreneurship as a tool for a Change project held in Kolin was a very successful project for me to learn and practice the subject. Also during the training cultural exchange help me to understand how other cultures are and I believe that we created good friendships in this project. The activities and lectures stimulated me to be a part of social entrepreneurship. In this sense CEFIG was a very good host.
