Why Join Our UN SDG Project?
I would like to consider this question as to why I stayed in this project rather than why I joined our project. My SHERPA journey, which started as a trainee researcher when I was at university (it's been almost 3 years now), is quite a long experience for me as a beginner. I participated to gain professional competence in the field of sustainability. I hoped to show how it is applicable to all sectors in this changing and developing world which is prone to ignore sustainability and development.
I think that I have come a long way personally and professionally in areas where everyone interested in sustainability would like to advance at different stages of this whole process. I had the opportunity to meet and work with successful professionals in many different parts of the world and learn from their expertise and personal experiences.
