"The course was a needed shift from the global scale of climate change and sustainability to a smaller, more influenceable setting."
"Gabriel Najum Spratt, a senior majoring in anthropology, prepared a meal using charcoal cookstoves, highlighting their negative impact."
In March, students from Columbia's Climate School traveled to Rwanda and Bangladesh to enhance their understanding of sustainability. The Rwandan program involved hands-on learning with local organizations and projects aimed at improving psychosocial well-being and sustainable cooking methods. Participants like Gabriel Najum Spratt gained practical insights into the impacts of traditional cookstoves. The course bridges classroom learning with real-world applications, foster self-efficacy and prepares students for impactful roles in sustainable development.
