    This is the best lecture I have ever learnt. The lecture i very friendly for a beginner like me and it successful to realize me as a global citizen. I hope all people, especially youth also learn in this lecture. Optimistically, this lecture will be a milestone to be a more dedicated global citizenship and bring nearer my dream to be a part of UNESCO Journey.
