Recrear – Apply!

Studying and living abroad is a powerful and enriching experience. Total immersion into a foreign culture helps to expand one’s intellectual horizons and contributes to personal progression and growth. An experience abroad can help students master the English language, acquire important skills for their career and provide a different perspective to observe the world and one’s own culture and society.

Recrear- Apply! Aims to provide training and assistance to Palestinian university students to allow and encourage them to apply to study or get training abroad and to empower themselves as leaders.

The two weeks workshop will aim to assist students to:

  • Utilize online research tools effectively;
  • Write their English resume/C.V.;
  • Prepare for international job/admissions interviews;
  • Write international applications;
  • Write essays for scholarship applications;
  • Develop concepts for local development projects;
  • Find means of creative expression through theatre and poetry

Moreover, the workshop will provide:

  • Tips about coping with cultural differences and studying abroad;
  • Introduction/Presentation of partner universities and academic offers (Carleton University, University of New Orleans, Alice Salomon University).
  • The workshop will include tips on how to be successful applicants in English speaking universities in the Americas and Europe in all fields of study.

Recrear  collaborates with a number of universities worldwide that would support the project by providing material and tips on how to apply to academic and professional programs worldwide.
