''Although we come from different studies, we have something in common. We are students of the Master's Honours 'Leadership: making the difference!' programme. We want to share with you why you should join us if you are interested in developing your professional and leadership skills, but also broaden your horizons and working together with different lecturers and students from interdisciplinary and international backgrounds."
