    What previous participants say

    Participants 1It was an extraordinary experience these days in the EU Bubble with such competent and skillful students. I want to thank the Eastwest European Institute and all my collegues for allowing me to grow as an individual, citizen and legal scholar through our time together.

    Participants 2This experience was one of those career investments that paid off immediately. Allowing me to connect with inspiring people from diverse backgrounds, and gain first-hand insights into international organizations such as the United Nations, World Trade Organization, World Health Organization, International Trade Centre, and many others. Another standout moment was our visit to Philip Morris International, where we took part in a fascinating simulation. It was eye-opening to learn about the company’s initiatives andculture and special thanks to the entire team for being outgoing during the networking break and their inspiring conversations. I truly believe that such missions help us grow both personally and professionally, bridging the worlds of governance and business while showing us, the next generation, what’s possible.
