Imagine 2021 winner Ventus:
“This Imagine experience was well… better than imagined! We learned so many things from so many different people. We took a close look at ourselves and were very inspired by the workshops with the coaches. It was one of the best experiences for us so far and on top of that we won! Not only have we won an extra taste of this life-changing lesson but we also won a lot of minds who think alike. We are right where we want to be at this moment.”
