TOP REVIEWS FROM COMPASSIONATE LEADERSHIP THROUGH SERVICE LEARNING WITH JANE GOODALL AND ROOTS & SHOOTS
I loved this way of working, especially with young students, love that they have all control of it. the course was easy and very understandable. it has great material available.
Great course! It was great to learn from one of my role models!
So inspiring and empowering. Can't wait to put this knowledge to work!
The course is very helpful to those who will take it. I suggest adding a more comprehensive introduction to Service-Learning since it is not yet common especially in Asian countries.
