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.
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.
