    There's so many ways we can change the world. There's information on how to do that anywhere you look to that point that it's gotten impossible not to find information that goes one way or another. EcoChallenge programmes bridge that gap of curiosity and... credibility.

    The programmes are useful frameworks for science communication. It's written from and for a certain gaze, which makes adapting it to my context enlightening and challenging!
