What did they do? |
| |
The past two years have seen little
face to face interactions. However, being resilient in changing
times, young surveyors were able to find ways of contributing to
their society, in their own way. In this session, we will hear
from young surveyors globally about their activities over the
pandemic. Learn how others adapted to the new normal, learn from
other countries and above all: get inspired to get involved
within the Network or to create your own Network in your
country.
