“By the end of the program, we created a prototype application that provides accessible data more conveniently than it is today, allowing people with disabilities to travel more independently in the city with more freedom. On a personal note, I met amazing and diverse people, my group faced a real challenge and the whole process become an extraordinary experience, thanks to everyone who took part.”
“This experience taught me a lot about myself, helped me discover new strengths, and helped me develop them. In our team, everyone did what they did best, and as a result, everyone enjoyed their work and admired each other’s abilities more. I loved the challenge that our different cultures brought and always tried to put people first. The first thing we did was create a “we” and put the others first. We kept motivating each other under this premise when the challenge seemed impossible. It was the best thing that could have happened to us”
BIPA gave me so many tools.
First and foremost, i learned about the German and the Emirati cultures. Met so many unique individuals and got to go through this amazing experience with them.
I also got to enhance my entrepreneurship skills with the guidance from the program’s mentors.
I would definitely recommend to enroll to BIPA and wish I could’ve done that all over again!
