As part of my experience at the University of Washington, I also decided to enroll in the Public Health departmental honors program. As one of the final projects for departmental honors, I had the opportunity to give a PechaKucha talk: a 20 slide PowerPoint with 20 seconds per slide to make our point. During this presentation we had the chance to critically analyze and discuss the impact of one of our experiential learning experiences and how it related to public health.
For this project, I decided to focus on my experience in Costa Rica, particularly in the context of climate change mitigation and adaption. While in Costa Rica, I was able to talk with farmers, conservationists, park rangers, and community groups about how climate change has affected them, and what small-scale solutions they were doing to confront it. I felt that during my time in Costa Rica I had a lot of time to reflect on how important these local solutions were. However, I was unable to reflect on how the solutions could apply to the United States.
Thus, I decided to use this opportunity provided by Public Health to talk about potential climate change mitigation efforts by Costa Rican agriculturalists, and how they could be translated to the United States. I felt that this talk gave me the chance to thoroughly reflect on what I had learned during my study abroad and share my conclusions with the broader community.
