About Event
A Global Student on a Hammock
Imagine yourself resting on a hammock, perhaps a soft breeze touches your face. Instead of reading a book or listening to a podcast, you can learn about and shape the future of one of your favorite subjects – yourself. For many, times of rest can also be times of inspiration. Come get inspired through interactive, inspiring learning sessions from the WorldLINK Foundation–and you may even stay on your hammock.
On four Mondays in August, join an international, friendly group of charismatic speakers who are ready to show you innovative, critical, and design thinking strategies. And you will also get support in public speaking!
