“I consider that this program will be an opportunity for me to interact with other young people from different backgrounds and with a wide range of skills and cultural diversity on the political, societal, scientific and economic issues facing the world (specifically our two continents, Africa and Europe). For me, this network will be an opportunity to co-build and drive solutions to the challenges facing our communities, based on the sharing of our different experiences in general and the circular economy in particular. “
