Review
I volunteered in the climate activism program and during the 6 months I acquired theoretical and practical knowledge about climate change and its impact on the vulnerable communities. I learned and worked with ecological agriculture and permaculture principles, renewable energy and other solutions. In addition to gaining skills such as using tools and improving my English, the experience allowed me to develop teamwork, integration with teammates and local people - with different cultures and backgrounds, practicing adaptability, problem-solving and collaborative thinking. Certainly personal and professional gains!

It was an intense and enriching experience. So, thank you and congratulations! However, I believe that improvements can be done to better the experience and impact of actions. The program is exhausting and stressful and I would think it interesting if activities such as body and mental well-being activities were encouraged and incorporated into daily tasks. Furthermore, I believe that, in general to the staffs, non-violent communication practices, as well as diversity management, with attention to cases of racism, would be important.
