Post-WAS

I learnt about other views surrounding energy I met people from all over the world, over 18

different countries. I learnt the importance of international

communication. I visited a country I have never been to before I learnt how to speak publicly I learnt how to think critically and challenge

speakers I made New Friends from around the world I will

remain in contact with.

What did I get from the experience?
