While Enactus º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ was cheering on Enactus Laurier, who competed as Team Canada at the international competition, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½dents met others from countries around the world, including Ireland, Tunisia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe, and more.
“As a newer Enactus team, it was amazing to learn from other groups and see how we can grow our team and projects,” said York. “Attending the World Cup in the Netherlands was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
As well as attending the world cup, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½dents took part in educational activities, including a walking tour of Utrecht.
“Traveling with Enactus was an enriching learning experience – learning about the Dutch culture and meeting and connecting with people from all over the world,” said Lopez.
