  • David Tjandra Nugraha
    Revisiting this course after finishing it last month, still relevant, and becoming more aware of our global situation. Due to recent crisis worldwide (viral disease), I am contemplating the role of global citizen, as the situation is not entirely conducive. I pray the best for everyone, and thank you for the enlightenment!
  • Viktoriia Mysan
    I am thankful for the opportunity which GCED Online Campus and Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens have created for young people and activists all around the world. I have heard useful and engaging information. Also, I got to know about some initiatives and institutions that work on achieving Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, now I have a deeper understanding of global citizenship as well as some aspects about achieving SDG, for example, the financial side of the question or where I can find more statistic information about global tendencies. I recommend this course for all global citizens! :)
