Carolyn (Delafield, Wisconsin)
Bahá'í Perspectives on Agriculture and Food, 2023

Taking this course has been an enjoyable, rewarding and enriching experience. I now feel more confident in my abilities to contribute to the public discourse in a wide range of subjects and using different styles.

Andrew Scott, Norfolk, United Kingdom
Sustainable Devlopment and Human Prosperity, 2022

The format of this course was really nicely laid out. Zoom calls to share art and thoughts (which was more intimate) and the online forums which was more classroom like. Without either component of the course, there would have been something lacking.
