This event will be beneficial for students, graduates, and all those interested in studying abroad, internships in international organizations, and building a successful career on a global scale.

Through this program, he pursued a Master's degree at two universities: the University of York in the United Kingdom and Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
Furthermore, he has worked with UNICEF representations in Turkmenistan and Cambodia, where he participated in projects focused on promoting children's rights, gender equality, and combating climate change.

During the seminar, Kemal will share his personal experience in applying for scholarships, participating in UN internships, and engaging in international programs. Participants will learn:
• How to prepare a successful application for scholarships such as Erasmus Mundus.
• What internship and volunteer opportunities the UN system offers.
• How to leverage participation in international conferences and forums for career advancement.
Particular attention will be paid to practical steps: where to find information, how to correctly prepare documents, how to establish useful contacts, and how to effectively represent one's country on the global stage.
