Impressions from Bonn:
“The DAAD and its Millennium Express makes a huge contribution to our common understanding of global problems and our ability to analyse them. It’s a truly good deed. There was such a range of professions represented at the conference – the diversity alone was impressive. I am more convinced than ever that we need to work together.”
Maria Angelica Montes Arenas from Colombia studies Tropical and International Forestry at the University of Göttingen.
“The conference broadened my horizons and opened my eyes to new areas. It also showed me that coupling education with intercultural experiences is the sustainable way forward. Cross-cultural education is something we all need.”
Evelyn Olea from Mexico works at the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development at the University of Göttingen.
