SDG 4
“Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. I cannot stress enough the importance of this Sustainable Development Goal. Education is of paramount importance when it comes to the development of one’s personality, ideas and development. After all as Nelson Mandela stated “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Being able to provide quality education to everybody is to my opinion an irreplaceable prerequisite for the realization of all other goals.

RhodesMRC Memory
What will always stick to my mind when it comes to this conference is the fun. The good times between sessions that you got to know everyone better and in the evenings, the relaxed atmosphere that allowed you to really enjoy yourself, the joy of sending a doughnut and -of course- the even greater joy of eating a doughnut sent to you.
