Testimonials
"It was life changing... the connections you make here, the people you meet, having the chance to be at another university out of your country and [absorbing] all of these different contexts. It's very enriching."
"Definitely... it has surpassed my expectations. I had the expectation of strategies and questions that we can ask ourselves, to question the information that we get and discern. But I think it exceeded in how this program allowed us to connect with each other, not only with my colleagues, but also with the professors."
"A three-week seminar where 15 Mexicans were chosen with different contexts, ages, professions... where we got a great course prepared by amazing teachers and [heard from] experts that are looking for tools for us to bring home and try to reproduce them in our daily lives."
"I think it's an experience that everyone should live. It was my first time going out of the country and I'm so, so thankful for it being like this... I will say that it was rewarding all the experience I got from this."
"It was fun, it was entertainment, it was rich. But I think it was really useful because all the amount of information that we received ... was creative, [it] was not boring."
"I love the topics and the conversations ... in the class. And I think it would be a really remarkable memory for me in the future."
"It was awesome... now I can see ... we're all Mexicans, but we all have different perspectives and ideas of what Mexico is."
"I decided to participate because I believe that information is a key to change inequality."
"The most important part of this program, in my experience, is that it helped me identify how my emotions are hijacked because of the information that I'm consuming. And in order to be aware, I need to identify that."
"I see here that everybody is looking how to use this for their communities or social environment and more social projection of what they are."
“I want to work on policies that help teenagers mostly to understand misinformation and to generate a critical thinking, But I [also] want to share it too with my family and with my local [community], with my close friends and with people that now believe that I have the power to understand information.”
