The meeting falls into the annual initiative carried on by members of T4NA at Sophia University Institute.They have embraced the culture of transmitting the project from generation to another to keep alive the spirit of innovation and protagonist mainly for the African students who find a particular interest for the project . Their contribution has been remarkable and highly appreciated during the pilot project that was concluded early this year.

This meeting occurred at the best timing.

It was a wonderful occasion for the students of Sophia University Institute to be with the coordinator and promoter of T4NA and have an exchange about the project. In a special way for the African students.
