We asked someone from Kerala to do a collaboration with us. Unfortunately the interest was only on one side and the corona virus affected our chances on a collaboration, so we can't include another country in our project.
The Grün Stadt Zürich rejected us aswell at first. But after a few e-mails and some convincing, they agreed on an interview.
But overall our experiences are really good and we have many informations and sources for our topic. So we are confidently looking forward on doing our project.
