Maarten Smies from The Hague Netherlands and I are establishing an international cooperative network of environmental and social development practitioners on Linkedin. The objective of the network is to provide a platform for young professionals to work together on subjects and projects of common interest. Specifically the network is aimed at providing opportunities for cooperative and mutual learning and development.
