Student Testimonials
During the MG20 Summit, I really learned how to be a strong leader - which is not just limited to instructing people on tasks, but is listening to the needs of your team and motivating everybody to work hard.
Student T., Head of State, Japan
My experience as a Knovva student has had a major impact on my life and awakened my interest in public policy. If there are students who want to meet like-minded people who want to work hard and are interested in social progress, I strongly recommend joining Knovva's study programs.
Student Z., Columbia University, Class of 2023
I have never seen a group of peers who are so motivated and want to advance society to study together. Knovva's courses have filled us with enthusiasm, and the unparalleled experience of studying with them has taught me in every way.
Student K., Dartmouth College, Class of 2024
