It was a good topic, and it was delivered in an
interesting way.
One key learning: knowing new strategies how to
innovate effectively in my entity!
The workshop was to the point, provided learning and
space for discussions.
The workshop’s presenter made us to discuss our
thoughts, and it stimulated me to have more valuable
questions about innovation.
Very interesting facts on innovation and how AIESEC
should continue innovating in a creative environment.
