TESTIMONIALS

Júlia: These Carbon Conversation sessions helped me a lot realise how much we still don't know about climate change and its dangers, but at the same time, it was a comfortable and safe space to learn about all possibilities we have in our hands to make significant change.

Daniel: From the first day the facilitators were able to engage all of us in participating actively in all activities. Although my previous knowledge on some of the issues was not very deep, after the 6th session I realised I had actually learnt a lot and widen my perspective about some environmental issues.
