They will be hosted by the students from RSG Tromp Meesters. During this week, we’ll be working on the project and visiting the most relevant elements in the area. All students have been working on the topic of discrimination and have ran surveys in each school. We’ll be analysing all those results and coming to conclusions. Besides, we will be choosing the logo for our website and preparing posters and presentations on our findings about discrimination. We’re sure it will be a wonderfulRead More →
