GRÓ LRT: A truly transformative experience

“The GRO LRT training programme has truly been a transformative experience for me. Over the course of six months, I engaged in a journey of learning, relearning, and unlearning. The programme has been a game changer, equipping me with valuable insights and skills that I can now apply in my work. Beyond the knowledge gained from lectures, fieldtrips, and presentations, the organisation of the training itself is something I aspire to replicate in my personal life.”
