WUNU students at an international volunteer internship
This summer, Veronika Yakymchuk, Olha Shymko, Oleksandra Hrysyk and Zoriana Boiko, first-year students of the International Economics (EME-11) programme at West Ukrainian National University, visited the heart of Turkey - Istanbul - for a volunteer internship with AIESEC.
They learned about the international organisation AIESEC at the university and were excited about this opportunity. Over the course of 6 weeks, the girls will improve their skills and learn new ones, and will have the opportunity to practice and improve their English.
The young economists have already visited many cultural monuments, including Topkapi Palace, St Sophia Cathedral, the Blue Mosque and the Galata Tower. They have met interesting people not only from Turkey but also from all over the world.
The young people have chosen two programmes, so some of them are working on Forest kids, while others are working on Fingerprint. The aim of the programmes is to teach English to preschool children, hold interesting events, promote Ukrainian culture and spread information about the war in Ukraine.
