Testimonials

Danisa Magomani- Final year animal science student - University of Pretoria

“The Keystone Collection workshop was eye-opening and has been the best educational trip so far. Connecting with nature reminded me of my passion and why I chose to study in agriculture in the first place. It gave me a chance to reflect more on myself, the people around me and the environment. The course provided an experimental and contextualized understanding of both practical entrepreneurial ventures and the workplace. I am motivated to dream further than the boundaries of the present hardships and the hardships thereafter. As someone who is a step closer to her career journey, I had so much fear and so many questions about my future in the industry, but this course provided an image of my career journey and where I see myself in the next 5 years.”
