Student Experience

“I learned so many new informative things and met a lot of new people, who I know call friends through taking this CQ Badge. My favourite part of the experience was having a safe space and environment to have different discussions where everyone’s opinions/ perspectives were heard during the workshops. This badge was life-changing for me both personally and professionally."

“The badge was extremely helpful to help me establish adaptive skills and how to exceptionally survive in my workspace.” 

“I learned to adapt myself in advance to the skills of getting along with people of different cultures and to make myself aware of some sensitive issues. CQ Badge will help me to make friends with others more easily in the future.”
