GoVolunteer Story

INTERVIEW ON EXPERIENCE IN EGYPT (Monica Narwani, University of the Arts London)

Why did you decide to participate in the GoGlobal programme with AIESEC? I wanted to be a part of an organization that gives me exposure to different cultures and people.

How was your experience in Egypt?

Egypt was an incredible experience: the people, the cities, the culture! Everything was incredible and so much more than I had expected!

What project did you work on whilst you were on exchange?

My main tasks were to explore the different cities in Egypt including all the incredible places in Cairo. The main outcome of my project was to create posters and visual material to appeal to general public, as many believe Egypt to be a dangerous place and don’t actually know how much of a beautiful destination it is.

Why would you recommend the experience to other students in the UK? I would recommend the experience because it is an incredible opportunity to not only do good for the world but also improve your interpersonal skills and meet people from different countries.
