I am 25 years old guy from Moldova, found of music, dance and fishing. I graduated from the Economy Department of Balti State University from Moldova with a qualification in Economics and Management. In October 2001 together with my fellow students I have founded a Youth Organization called 'Certitude' which goal is to promote the dialogue between students and teachers in order to improve and adjust the learning process to the changing realities. Also we intend to promote the dialogue between students from our department and students from other universities both from Moldova and from abroad in order to exchange knowledge and experience that will help to ease the process of involvment of students in the social life of the communities. Our main activities consists of delivering courses on Business and Organizational Management, Business English, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Leadership, International Business, Business Negotiations, Business Ethics as well as conferences and discution boards on important topics such as Youth Unemployment with its diferent aspects and consequences. We are trying to involve more people in our activities in order to find ways to liquidate this social phenomena and give the future generation a chance to live better than the present one. We are open to any kind of collaboration and partnership with individual students and corporate institutions from abroad that share our vision and wants to help us. Hope for a mutual useful collaboration in order to find best ways to build a strong and long lasting network of forward-looking, tough-minded, self-motivated, tolerant professionals.
