Ambassadeurs CIVIS

Eszter Gőbel

Hello! I am Eszter Gőbel, a hungarian first-year law student at Aix-Marseille University with a deep commitment to international mobility and intercultural exchange. With my multilingual abilities in French, English, and Hungarian, I am passionate about connecting with students across borders to foster an inclusive academic network.

My studies have highlighted the value of diverse perspectives, and I believe that by promoting international mobility, we can create a richer educational experience that transcends national boundaries. Being part of the CIVIS Alliance would be an incredible opportunity to help support an innovative, collaborative Europe where mobility is accessible and encouraged. I believe that for a true university experience, students must profit from the international mobility so that they can enrich their own educational journey. Therefore, I'm excited to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to our shared vision and to work alongside other members of CIVIS in expanding the reach of international education across our alliance.

Hi, I'm Ernesto, a second-year student in Gastronomic and wellness sciences, cultures and politics. My journey doesn't stop within the classroom walls. I decided to become a CIVIS Ambassador after an experience that expanded both my academic and personal horizons.

My name is Annarita and I am currently a Masters' Degree student in International Relations at Sapienza University.

I believe the CIVIS Alliance is another fundamental step of the European Integration process, which needs to be scaled up with the direct engagement and meaningful
participation of youth.

Sara Napolitano

I've decided to become a CIVIS ambassador as I firmly believe in the importance of interculturalism and cultural exchange within the university as a reason for personal enrichment. My hope, through joining the CIVIS project, is to extend across the university community the love for knowledge and for sharing, as well as the importance of language study as a means to live another reality, closer to other people's points of view.

Studying or practicing languages in a cross-cultural environment means being able to fully immerse oneself into the unknown and the unexpected. I would like to contribute to the CIVIS community by creating a safe communication space, with the hope to convey to my peers the same enthusiasm for the perspective of an intercultural and surely enriching education opportunity.

Louise Wallinder-Mähler

Hej!

My name is Louise, and I study history and cinema studies at Stockholm University, leading to a wonderful opportunity for me to study a semester abroad in Glasgow. My exchange became one of the best experiences of my life, and I fell in love with the international community abroad. In a society where it sometimes feels like people from different countries are growing apart, I find it increasingly important to support efforts to bring people together. Now as an ambassador for CIVIS, I want to share my experience and inspire other students to study abroad and see the world!

Julia Klumbach

CIVIS has given me a lot of great opportunities for my personal and professional development. Not only has it allowed me to spend a whole semester abroad, but it made it possible for me to participate in shorty term experiences during which I met a variety of amazing people with personal and academic backgrounds that are different than mine.

Here lies, in my opinion, the biggest impact that CIVIS can have on its students: It gives us a platform to meet and to interact and to become more accepting and tolerant people together.

Leonie Maria Oyen

Hallo! When I first got to know the CIVIS alliance, I was in awe of the many opportunities available to us students – from BIPs and exchange semesters to certificates and more. As an ambassador, my goal is to encourage every student to seize these chances and enrich both their academic and personal development.
CIVIS is an intellectual meeting ground where we can learn with and from each other – the relationships formed through CIVIS programmes are sustainable and enable us young students to shape our fields with the global perspective in mind. After all, academic cooperation across nations and disciplines has always been a cornerstone of strong international relations – and is invaluable when addressing global challenges. Through CIVIS, every one of us can get involved in expanding and strengthening this network of knowledge and friendship!
