Moreover, it is a process of having a common sharing of an unforgettable experience that remains etched in our memories. During my stay in Schmalkalden, I met both local Germans and international students from other parts of the world and made new friends. It made me very happy and proud to represent my culture and values there, and at the same time, to get acquainted with other cultures.”
