“Zero waste, from Zero to Hero “
“Thank you ZWM for setting up such a good platform for teachers to learn. They taught us about environmental awareness and zero waste in a very systematic way. Both the speakers’ expertise and the course material content are excellent. We had the opportunity to come into contact with different types of professionals, allowing us to learn and discuss together.
I started learning from scratch in this GWP course, and the instructors constantly guided me on how to write a good proposal. Finally, I successfully obtained seed funding to carry out my Snacky Box project. If GWP opens classes again, you must not miss this opportunity again.”
