My takeaway from the SEA:certificate program was the courage and the confidence to make a decisive contribution to societal change. Our international success has shown that we shouldn’t think small – we should think big! The SEA has always affirmed us in that regard.

I benefited tremendously from developing a practical and realistic strategy for how I can achieve something. Thanks to the program I gained a lot of experience, know-how and contacts with inspiring people – and most of all, the courage to act.

Christoph Karmann

Through the SEA:certificate Program, I not only became acquainted with different methods and tools in the context of Social Entrepreneurship, but I also benefited most of all from the diverse perspectives in my year. The collective spirit of this group consistently opened my eyes and gave me the courage to live out my dreams.

The SEA:certificate program enabled me to develop and implement solutions for societal problems.
Anyone who wants to actively help to develop a sustainable future and cares strongly about the good of humanity really should sign up for this program!
In my opinion, the SEA:certificate offers education’s best answer to the challenges of our time – it actually provides urgently needed general knowledge in this day and age!
