You want to go abroad, but your university does not have a partnership with the university of your dreams? There is no problem! You can always apply to a university for doing an exchange as a free mover. An independent exchange is an alternative to organized exchanges and has the advantage - you have complete freedom of choosing the destination. All students are welcome to apply for admission to other universities.

1. Can you introduce yourself? (Name, age, faculty/university)

My name is Jana Kojović. I am 22 years old and I study English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Džemal Bijedić, Mostar.

What is Earth day for you?

Earth Day is an international day that aims to educate the entire population about the ecological conditions and the correct behavior towards the environment in which we live. Ecology teaches us that the environment in which we live and work is the only one we have. We are aware that our actions are constantly destroying the environment, and we need to change that.

According to the official website, the theme for Earth Day 2021 is 'Restore Our Earth', which focuses on natural processes, emerging green technologies, and innovative thinking that can restore the world's ecosystems. Here, we bring you some ideas on how to safely celebrate it.

Sometimes we all struggle with organization of our work and study plan. If you think that 24 hours is not enough to do important things then you don’t know how to properly lead your time.

Each country offered something different, and throughout the years it helped me discover something different. My biggest advice to other students is to not be afraid. Fear will just stop you from accomplishing everything that you ever wanted and like Will Smith said: "If you can't beat the fear, just do it scared". Trust me, it's worth it.

There are several opportunities where you can start volunteering online. The options go from making simultaneous translation of online meetings to illustrating children’s educational books. The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme gathers UN entities, Civil Society Organization and Governmental and public Institutions with volunteers around the world that would like to address sustainable development challenges.
