Rob van Leeuwen is a Dutch and European citizen, facilitator and trainer. Since 2004 he has been involved in the field of International Voluntary Service: from participant to project manager, board member to trainer. He also worked for the Asia-Europe Foundation in Singapore, facilitating exchanges for young people from the two continents the foundation covers, and co-edited several publications there.

He is a passionate promoter of non-formal education and crosscultural learning for young people. Recently, he followed the online course on organising Transnational Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange Projects as many of his facilitations have gone virtual. Next to his part-time freelancing in the youth field, Rob coordinates student exchange partnerships with universities from all around the world.
