My first trip to Erlangan, Germany was particulary enriching. It was my first time traveling with EELISA, and I met incredible people. This event renewed my belief that intercultural perspectives are beneficial when developing any projet. Collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds and working together towards a single goal is essential in allowing us to question and reframe our work.
