It is clear from project descriptions that many learners chose to focus on problems they are familiar with or have a strong personal incentive to address. The learner who wrote about cancer identified themselves as a pathologist. Many learners from India focused on flooding or cyclones, while learners from California wrote about earthquakes. One learner from Vietnam explained that “in this first quarter of 2020, Vietnam’s Mekong Delta is bracing severe drought and salinity in the coming months, and local authorities must take every step carefully to mitigate the damage.” Similarly, one learner presented themselves as “a citizen of India,” and went on to explain how “our country is facing a problem of air pollution and it is increasing continuously.”
