In this episode, we had a conversation with Abby Falik, the Founder and CEO of Global CItizen Year. We discussed about changing the narative of a "gap" year into a "bridge" year, namely a purposeful year of endless personal development opportunities for young people. Besides, we touched upon the current educational system and how it can be improved. Last but not least, Abby talked with us about Global CItizen Year Academy, an innovative, vitrual leadership program where students from all around the world learn how to act with purpose and change the world into better.  The host of this episode: Sher Shah Khan.
