In the past few weeks, I have been deeply focused on my group's final project and in preparing for our final presentation. My team and I had been working hard to make sure we were covering the relevant aspects and elements that needed to be addressed in the scope of our project, entitled "Conceptualizing & Prototyping an Online Platform for Collaboration in Social Innovation".

Throughout the process, we learned various lessons on social innovation, creating our business model canvas, gaining in-depth knowledge on how online platforms attract and retain members, and so on. But as important as the knowledge we obtained, we also managed to build strong bonds between us as team mates and friends. It was an exciting topic that truly peaked each of the diverse interests we had, and gave us an enriching learning experience. I am extremely happy to have worked with such fun and dedicated people. :)
Yesterday, on 19 July 2012, my classmates and I, along with students from other Masters' programmes, finally walked up the stage at EOI to receive our diplomas on Graduation Day! We encountered an emotional mix of feelings as we celebrated our success in completing the Master's, but also in realising that it marked the end of our time spent together as students (and international family) under the IMSD programme. Needless to say, I am very grateful to have been given the great
opportunity to learn about Sustainable Development & CSR at EOI in
Madrid, and with the diverse classmates I have come to know as good
friends. Equipped with what we have learned from our professors and from
one another, we shall continue to pursue our individual dreams and
ambitions in the same field. I take comfort in knowing that my comrades
and I will be pursuing similar
goals and visions that center on making our communities and world a
better place, and thus look forward to our paths crossing again in the
near future.
Congratulations and best wishes to all my fellow classmates and friends at EOI on your future endeavours!
