Voices from Past Participants
  • I am very grateful for this learning opportunity as it showed me that not too far under the surface there are still lots of differences even in a increasingly globalized world.
  • I learned many things with highly-talented and motivated participants. This forum encouraged me very much to do my best to make my dreams come true.
  • Getting accepted into STeLA was not highly expected, but even more so were the many pleasant surprises during the forum. I find mere words inadequate to describe STeLA.
  • This experience has taught me many things which will help me professionally in the future.
