Memories from previous years

It was a great honour being a part of summer school Zambia is a country of contrasts and amazing people. There are cheerful and open-minded people everywhere.
On this trip, I remember most of all the safaris, where I saw a huge number of animals, as if you found yourself in the Animal Planet program. But nothing compares to the feeling you get when you see a hippopotamus accidentally or zebras. The people who surrounded me during these 10 days are very multifaceted and bright personalities, especially Zambian students.
You can discuss this trip for a long time, but it's easier to put it in numbers: 10/10.

Zambia immediately embraced us with its pace, kindness, fun, music and dancing. In the middle of the semester and busy schedule, the best thing that could happen to me is this trip. I didn't regret for a second what I saw, decided, packed up and went to this wonderful place!
I remember very much the walk around the campus of the University of Zambia. The territory is huge, there are many people, the atmosphere is educational. The students even have their own radio! We visited the radio room right during the broadcast)
Big thanks to organisers! I'll definitely be back!

Africa, Zambia - sometimes it sounds like something unattainable and incomprehensible.
This story is about curiosity, about manifestation, about identity and an incredible love of life.
Many facets, like in a kaleidoscope, turn into unusual images for the European eye. But it's so beautiful and lively.
Thank you to our university for this discovery, for the opportunity to study and explore. This experience is very valuable!
