We also had discussions about of the characteristics of a good leader and development of his leadership skills. Through the project proposal, related to leadership in addition to volunteering, the Brazilian team as well as all others had to identify problems in their city, whether in any sphere – environment, inequality, prejudice, etc. – after the identification phase was completed, it was required the team to choose one of the problems identified and to present effective and tangible action plans to solve it.
