A broadened world view


This week we had the final presentation of the SGT Studio course. It was about the learnings of the adventure that the Nepali 2019 project has been. Summarising everything that has happened, has felt like a project of its own, it is hard to put to words all that the experience has given. 

Coming into the project in November, I had no idea what was waiting ahead. The past half a year has been a skydive into the world of problem-based teamwork methods and international development project 101. I truly believe now that a diverse and multidisciplinary team can, at its best, work well as a tool to identify platforms of change. Three months post field trip, I am only beginning to understand how much I have learned about the value of broad-mindedness, dynamic communication skills and calm introspection to a projects success. Moreover, the process has set me on a path of re-framing my world view, I ended up meeting wonderful people whom I really love and respect, and together we had more fun than should be legal.
