Great visit by Professor Valentina from University of Arad, Romania has been concluded with signing of an MoU.

Nikita Duhan, a second year Computer Science student went on an exchange to South Korea this summer from AIESEC Dehradun. This is what she has to say.
"To tell you the truth, I just wanted to travel abroad and that's why I came in touch with AIESEC.
Now, when I look back at those 42 days that I spent in Seoul, South Korea with 27 Koreans and 6 other volunteers from 5 different countries, it was definitely not about "JUST" travelling abroad.
I worked on the issue of Multicultarism and how it's percieved in South korea. I met up with elementary school kids who belonged to mixed families. I talked to people on the streets about what they thought about the issue at hand. We would meet up weekly to discuss our plans for our Educational session, Campaign and also tours around the city. We raided the local markets of Seoul, tried all kinds of food we could get our hands on.
I met strangers who became my friends. I learned things that I would never have if it wasn't for this trip. I grew both, intellectualy and emotionally. I became more aware of the nations other than my own. I a more self-aware than I was before the trip.
Frankly, mere words can't describe what I've experienced over those 42 days, yet I try my best to explain it to you. I would like to end with "Your life is your message to the world. Make sure it's inspiring."
