Course Reviews

  • Agustina Siahaan
    This course has displayed a wide range of information and insight regarding the global citizenship and also current vital issues in our world. The speaker are all expert in their own fields and they way they delivered their ideas and argument is informative and easy to digest. A particular thing that i really appreciate is the video when many young people discuss the issue of global citizenship and how they have and will they take part in it. Its really sending a message that both senior and junior have responsibility to create the better condition in our world. Cheers..
