Before the completion of the course, we have been told to do a project plan around our course of studies and any jaw dropping plan giving the wow moment during vetting will be shortlisted for the Kenya Summit2023.

“Since the topics were about inclusion, education, media and journalism, governance, NGO. I decided to tailor Bodex Social Media Hangout to suit the topic which is media related and to our greatest surprise it got selected for the presentation.
