“Winning the EDCOM graduation competition has been an incredibly meaningful experience for me. I chose a thesis topic that truly fascinated me, and that passion made the writing process both engaging and enjoyable. Exploring the wellness field and having the opportunity to showcase my work through this competition has been incredibly rewarding.
Having my work recognised and appreciated on a European level was something I did not expect, which made this achievement even more special. I could not be happier or more thankful to have been part of it.”

“Travelling to Tuvalu to make a documentary and working with electrophysiological equipment to measure the film’s emotional impact for my graduation project was already a unique experience. Being recognised and appreciated on an international level gives me a real boost of confidence. I’m grateful to everyone who supported me, and it was a privilege to raise awareness about this research approach as well as Tuvalu and its rising sea levels.”
