Student Ratings & Reviews
The training changed my perspective on sports and their role on sustainable development. It taught me the importance of team building and inclusion. I also got to interact with people from different cultures which was amazing.
Getting to play a football game with the kids and learning from the others from the many different countries was top tier I wish we had more time to get to know each other better
Excellent course!
