Ms. Stefanos is very knowledgeable and experienced in the areas of global food production and food insecurity.

She was able to tailor her virtual presentation to fit the needs of my course and my students, and she articulately described the practical ramifications of many theoretical points we discussed in class.

My AP environmental science students found Ms. Stefanos informative and engaging!”

I never really thought about the specifics in food security, as I always thought how it was tied to being poor.

This may not be the case as some people may live in food deserts, or climate may limit them to the amount of food they can receive - something that was upsetting to me was the fact that a little bit less than half of the global population have access to a nutritious plant-based diet.”

Amal Stefanos was invited to join a panel for our school’s community discussion about corporate responsibility in the global food industry, its local and global impact on food habits, health, and culture.

Our community was very impressed by the depth of her knowledge and experience concerning food security and corporate practices globally and, more specifically, in the Horn of Africa. Amal spoke about these complex issues through her personal experience growing up in Kenya and through the lens of global citizenship and personal responsibility in building a more just society.

Amal is an engaging speaker. She was also a pleasure to work with.

Ms. Stefanos provided a comprehensive engaging presentation on the complex relationship between Food Insecurity and Water Scarcity.

Based on student feedback, the presentation and student activities were meaningful and had an impact on their understanding of this aspect of being a global citizen.

Amal came to speak to Years 3 to 6 about Global Citizenship and it was fantastic to see how she engaged and inspired the children. Amal used practical activities during the assembly to demonstrate how our global community is linked and how important it is to maintain those ties and look after one another.

The concept of being a global citizen and having a personal responsibility to help build and maintain a global society was pitched perfectly at the attending year groups and even inspired our next challenge of the week.

Year 5 and 6 then completed a workshop on food security which addressed many misconceptions about contributing factors to food scarcity. The children learned about how it is not just a country or city's economic position that impacts the availability of, and access to, nutritious food.

Amal is knowledgeable and passionate about global citizenship, but what is even more valuable is the ability to translate these current and complex issues into terms that children of all ages understand. Thank you, Amal. It was an enlightening morning.
