One thing the iQnite case competition on climate change has taught me is that there is a big difference between talking a problem up and the ability or desire to do anything about it. While we often hear and see young people on the street protesting against climate sinners and calling for action NOW!, I… Continue reading Screaming is not solving
One of the great opportunities to learn something new and expand your horizon is to engage in conversation with someone you don't agree with. You might still have disagreements after your conversation, but at least you have gotten the opportunity to get some perspective. And boy, do we often need that.
