"The KULCHA symposium was conspicuously well-organised; the hosts' charisma infectious and the camaraderie palpable among presenters and public. Energising and hopeful overall. More, please."
"It was a space for meetings and exchanges, without borders! A truly universalist approach. THANK YOU"
"It was UnBELIZEably Awesome!"
"The KULCHA Symposium was one of the most ethically and educationally diverse symposiums that I've ever been to. It is truly one worthy of praise. The efficiency of a female lead executive and their passion for sustainability and cultural and educational diversity transcended to each of the presenters and their respective audiences. Being able to tune in from regions within and outside of the Caribbean region was also a rare treat to witness such innovation and community spirit. I am deeply humbled to have witnessed what I hope was the first of many more to come."
"LOVED IT!!!"
