Testimonial
“It was an absolutely amazing experience to be able to connect with different people from all over the world to share our dialogues on what being a global citizen means to us and how it's inclusive to our nation as well. The questioning and overall dialogue really gave me a new vision towards welcoming diversity as a young change maker.”
Reflection on Global Citizenship by a student from Pakistan.
“The dialogue compelled me to dive deeper into the concept of identity and think about what it means to me. It also gave me the opportunity to learn what the term represents to others. It was an engaging experience, where I got to answer questions put up by my peers, share my experiences and understand theirs.”
