An interview with the BQ founders - Part one of a five-part series. Part 2 - Why is BQ important as an initiative? In this episode, we go back in time to when Burning Questions first started. Joffy Conolly, Sharanya Menon, and William LaFleur are previous Education and Globalisation (EdGlo) students who were the first event organizers of Burning Questions. They talk about the importance of pushing education to its boundaries and why it is necessary to experiment, change, explore, and when necessary, fail in education.
