Alumni Testimonials
Hetvi Joshi, India
“One of the interesting approaches of this Master is how it shapes the Global South as a conceptual situation and not only as a geographical constraint, which changes the way we might see things in the development sector.
Overall, I hope this Master continues to serve as a platform to build a wider and connected community of professionals, who want to work meaningfully in the development sector and I have been glad to be a part of it.”
Leticia Pacheco Reis de Souza, Brasil
“I liked a lot the workshop in El Salvador that we have done, our intervention in the city center and our interaction with local students as well to see their opinion. It was a brief work but it already gave us an idea of what we can do with our careers.”
