What has been the most meaningful idea you’ve discovered or learned so far in preparation for your study abroad to Nepal?
The most meaningful idea I have learned so far is the understanding of just how different the impacts of the climate crisis are for different locations whether an area is a heavy contributor or not.
For me, the Nepal Study Abroad is an opportunity to…use art in a way that shares stories and experiences that others may be unaware of and to grow my knowledge of how the climate crisis impacts people.
What do you want to be better at?
I want to improve on how I am a global citizen and have better awareness of what is happening in the world.
How does learning about climate crisis in Nepal shape the way you view, and want to engage with, the world?
Learning about the climate crisis in Nepal makes me want to engage the world in a more careful and thoughtful way.
