Once upon a Time… An ISWI 2007…

Actually, the ISWI started since about two months!!!

It was one of the best experiences I have ever had… More than 350 students from universities around the world were there, representing about 67 countries.

Eight days were gone with a mixture of joy and tiredness! Either lecture sessions or group work at the beginning of the day, then, the afternoons were for parties and resting.

During the lecture sessions, we got the chance to meet scientists, professors, doctors, a Nobel Prize laureate, Human Right Award winners …, about 16 reputable speakers, who came, to share with us their experiences and knowledge.

I really appreciated taking part of this international program, I learned many things, about how do other “different” people deal with topics. I was, especially, interested in the International Brunch, it allows us discover other different cultures and identities though tasting typical foods from different countries, knowing about their traditional and typical clothes. It was a unique experience, practically, all the cultures of the globe, joined together in one meeting!!!

I really had a great time that I can’t forget…
