At a loss for words August 22, 2023
By Daniela R (Design for Sustainability, Savannah College of Art & Design) - abroad from 08/07/2023 to 08/15/2023 with
The GREEN Program: Iceland - Sustainability and Renewable Energy Abroad
DO NOT HESITATE to jump on this trip - worth every penny! Not only did I leave with a lot of new knowledge around renewable energy in Iceland, but we also got super immersed in the culture and met a lot of amazing people that now form part of our sustainability network.
