Ayesha | Viana do Castelo, PT BIP Ageing and Inclusion
This program has really given me a new perspective on life. It wasn’t just an academic experience, but a personal one too. Getting to know new people, being more open to new experiences and stepping out of my comfort zone has helped me to become more courageous and self-confident.

Amrutha | Nicosia, CY BIP Summer School for Future Founders
This week has strengthened my skills in pitching, business model development and explaining a technical product to a non-technical audience, and has given me a real sense of what it takes to turn an idea into a real business. I left Nicosia with new partners, new friends and a clear motivation to keep working on this.
