Peter’s Reflections On Receiving The Visionaries Award
Peter has been a part of the Education 2.0 Conference’s Dubai Edition twice. He received the Visionaries Award during the conference, which was a meaningful moment for Peter. “I guess, like a lot of people, I probably underestimate myself,” he admits. “I felt like it was unjustified and that I didn’t really deserve it. And now I think, well, I certainly look at things a bit differently, I go down different paths, work in different circumstances, and find myself having something to offer to different people.”
