I joined Forward College because I wanted to broaden my perspectives by studying and living in three different countries. In my second-year, I received a scholarship from Forward to take part in the European Innovation Academy, and my team made the top 10 from a pool of over 110. The team’s idea revolves around transforming non-recyclable plastic into synthetic fuel, a concept that holds significant promise for sustainable waste management. Now that I am finishing my third year, I am currently writing my Bsc Psychology bachelor thesis about the importance of leisure time physical activity for self-reported self-efficacy at the workplace. Once submitted, I am planning on starting the programme of Development and Socialisation in Childhood and Adolescence at the University of Utrecht.
