A Day in the Life of a GRL student

Hi, my name is Koen Pouw and I’m currently a second year student of the BSc Global Responsibility & Leadership (GRL) at University College Fryslân in Leeuwarden. During my studies, my peers and I study global issues through an interdisciplinary lens and try to tackle such issues in order to contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which the GRL programme is inspired by. This interdisciplinary approach to learning about global issues is one of the main reasons I chose to study GRL. I personally have chosen the Major Responsible Planet, and focus on topics such as climate change and the sustainable energy transition, and I take a sidetrack in politics from the Major Responsible Governance as well. Let me talk you through what a day in the life of a student of Global Responsibility & Leadership may look like!
