Broaden my prospects toward cross-cultural collaboration
My journey with ILDC began in 2023 when I had the privilege of participating in the ILDC. The four-week training proved to be a transformative experience for me, encompassing not only learning and enjoyment but also serving as a catalyst for self-reflection.
The incredible spirit of volunteerism displayed by AHI’s volunteers left an indelible mark on me. Their dedication instilled in me a profound appreciation for the power of collaboration and community engagement.
Through this training, I gained valuable insights into the significance of a participatory approach and learned how to create an environment that fosters active engagement among participants. The commitment and passion demonstrated by the entire AHI team, including staff members and volunteers, in successfully organizing the training piqued my curiosity and admiration.
The invitation to join the ILDC 2024 as a coordinator is not only an honor but also a strategic alignment with my professional aspirations. It presents a chance for me to deepen my understanding of organizing participatory course, leveraging the expertise of the AHI staff members. Being part of such an international initiative will not only allow me to contribute to the success of the ILDC but will also offer a unique platform to explore diverse perspectives, cultures, and social norms.
I am confident that my passion for inclusivity, strategic mindset, and dedication to continuous learning align seamlessly with the objectives of ILDC. I am eager to contribute meaningfully to the success of ILDC 2024, fostering an environment of excellence and collaboration.
