feedback on taught modules

"I absolutely loved her teaching style, the material she gave us, how dynamic it was, and how honest and sincere she was answering all kind of questions. I learned a lot in these two hours. It was lovely to have a chat with someone that has so much experience on field. Please, if it’s possible, I would be thrilled to have more workshops with Claire."

"It was super engaging and informative. As students, we often feel a distance between in-class learning and what we are hoping to apply it to in practice, so speaking with you and getting some insight into the reality of working in the humanitarian sector was really helpful."
