[FREE WEBINAR] The Silver lining under the COVID-19 cloud | #HenleyAlumni 3rd Wednesdays

ABOUT

Dr Henrietta Onwuegbuzie will discuss how the COVID pandemic is giving us a chance to reset the world for the better. She will touch on the economic, social and environmental levels of improvement that we can achieve in the post-COVID world, if we make the right decisions as we begin again. She will propose that by transforming the global strategies into one of systematic collaboration rather than maintaining current predatory practices, we can build a more inclusive and sustainable world of shared prosperity.
