Who are we?

We are the Worldconnectors. We work in the NGO-sector, for the government, business, media, the world of politics or we represent youth. Every time we meet we interconnect our worlds and try to connect those worlds to your world by discussing different themes and issues related to international cooperation and the global community.
Why are we Worldconnectors? Let us tell you ourselves.
