The question “How do want the world to be and why?” was asked of the participants of a joint “Simpol” and “Engineers Without Borders”, workshop 10 am Sunday morning, after a proper open mike and disco session in the main tent the night before.
People revealed their passion for a better world, condensed. We felt the exercise brought us together as a proper workshop should.
