EVS Quotes
Everybody has his/her own views views, coming from a
specific country and discipline. Therefore it felt
sometimes like walking through mud, but in the end it
proves very enriching. (URB)
The group worked better and better with time and has
grown together. (STR2)
As global efforts are needed for sustainable
development, working in small groups, like we did inEVS, is a good start to appreciate each other to work
together on common goal! (RED)
