Case study: Leonah Mbonimpa – China and HK “My participation in the Global Festival of Learning was an opportunity to work in a different international cultural setting and expound on my global awareness. Interacting and listening to other students from the Chinese universities was am added advantage to my global mind and heart set. Experiencing the culture, different sights, food and hospitality in Chengdu, Beijing and Hong Kong was amazing. Working with the team and staff of BU was beneficial to my career Through programs like the Global Festival of Learning the University provides the chance for students to develop work related skills and experience in an international context where they wouldn’t be normally motivated without financial help.”
