The Academy students took active part in this event representing various countries and cultures. “Over the past two days we discussed climate change and natural disasters. As young activists we could propose meaningful solutions to address climate change issues. One of the most exciting aspects of the conference was the beautiful diversity of Central Asia and Afghanistan. I hope our voices will be heard and bring significant changes in the world”, shared Somaye Sadat from Afghanistan.
