Course Reviews

  • Credo Naibaho
    in my opinion, we as global citizens must have a big vision of change to transform every life that is sustainable. It is important for us to realize that the phenomena that occur are very connected to our daily reality. Wherever we come from, we must always remember we are global citizens, and it is our responsibility to act towards sustainable development.
  • ADEDAMOLA KUFORIJI
    I find it inspiring to know that we all as global citizens should be concerned about making the world a better place for us all.
    We are as strong as the weakest person in the world. Thank you Banki Moon for being such an inspiration to us and a joy to the world.
    I look forward to learning from other modules.

    In my second lecture of the first module Ive picked a lot of wisdom and inspiration. I'm now dedicated in helping others live healthy, out of poverty and in a peaceful world. ive learnt that human beings are all equal and should have freedom to access social economic services not only from there states but also from the entire world. I'm in love with this course. regards
