“I really liked the topics of these webinar series, I learned so much, now I'm inspired to start my own little garden in my home, also now I'm want to learn more about my carbon footprint and change my routine to reduce my carbon footprint.”
Katherine Emely Castro Hernández, Student, Universidad del Salvador |
“I had students in a class this Fall (2020) that I wanted to have connect and collaborate with students from other countries, specifically on issues of the SDGs. Kagumu’s webinars are doing very well at exactly that. The perspectives are invaluable, so this is really great!”
