“This training was very interesting and impressive because it was different from others which often only focus on giving out materials. During the virtual workshop, the participants had many opportunities to ask questions and share their experiences, so it was a two-way street communications. The explanations from the speakers were substantive, clear, and easy to understand. Furthermore, the interactive discussions with fellow participants were very insightful and filled with many thought-provoking questions. I am glad that I could be a part of this training, and hopefully, there will be many more activities like this in the future.”

I am also starting to learn how to create content, and in the middle of losing directions, this training gave me hope and provision to grow. Thank you, Green Network Asia and Waste4Change!”
