Liisa Joutsenjärvi 

Hungary / Finland

Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC)

What do I do?

At the REC, I coordinate international relations on a broad spectrum and participate in developing partnerships and strategies for the organisation. Within the SIAC project, my aim is to spread the word about the network in Hungary and Finland, and to get different actors involved in the initiative. Being a Finn living in Budapest, I support the participation of the Hungarian partners (Kreater Social Innovation Agency) in the network and of the potential Finnish partners, as well.

What am I interested in?

I am fond of sustainable development, social entrepreneurship, organic farming, and multiculturalism. My passion and goal is to work in multicultural environments promoting tolerance and understanding of different cultures through inclusive entrepreneurship.
