Hear from the Thriving Online 2021 Participants

"The term ‘Global’ actually attracted me a lot, because I have never had the chance to go abroad or even interact with
people outside my country. So this platform was a very easy way for me to interact with people all across the globe,
and learn how they are working, how they are thinking and what challenges they are facing“
