International Cultural Exchange - Bangladeshi

Priya Farjana Akter

Priya will provide our team with the IT expertise we look to provide within our Pop-up and SUV events and developments. She will also inform our cultural exchange efforts with real-time insight on the coastal region of Bangladesh, which is immediately adjacent to the Bay of Bengal that feeds into the Indian Ocean. Priya is currently finishing her Degree in Information Technology at the University of Maryland. She has also attended Montgomery College for some of her earlier studies. We are looking forward to her insights on the local conditions regarding disasters, public emergencies, and climate change events in this highly volatile coastal region.

We are planning to develop well-researched, planned, and designed for Pop-up and Sustainable Urban Villages that specifically apply to this region. Priya will also help inform our design of sustainable agricultural programs for this region, including vertical and year-round systems that address the critical issue of food security and the immediate and systematic growth and production of community-specific healthy food sources, specifically, during disasters, public emergencies, and climate change events. These programs are being developed for application in coastal regions around the world.
