PARTICIPANT'S PROFILE

FEML

Amazing people! Thank you once again for making the Forum, not only the meeting arena for uncovering and discussing the economy mainly the European one, but a true pleasure to participate in! From the interesting and engaging speaker sessions and roundtables, to the informal meetings and chats outside the conference rooms, to the social events at the end of each day...

The Forum played an important role in shaping my professional and social skills. This initiative provoked me to think outside of the box, get out of my comfort zone and push the boundaries of what I thought was realistic. I am so grateful to everyone who was part of the Forum for this rewarding experience!

Mariya Romanyshyn, Ukraine

I come from Germany, but I am also Brazilian and I embrace two citizenships. I am also European. And that's why I came here, because I found out this wonderful programme which is made for young Europeans like you and like all of them here. There are beautiful people, which have great ideas and I can learn so much from all of the different conversations we have during the breaks and even in the Forum itself. There are panel discussions, we have direct contact with really good experts and that's why you should take up the whole effort to come to Nowy Sącz.
