From Studying Society to Living It: Candela’s Journey from Spain to Denmark

Hi! I’m Candela, from Valencia, Spain. After finishing my degree in Sociology, I realized that in order to study the world I needed to get to know it more closely. Since I can remember, I’ve taken part in volunteer work, as I truly believe in the power of community as a tool to change the world. This program offered everything I was looking for: an ethical preparation aligned with my values and a project that works on problems from the inside. Here I’ve met wonderful people from whom I learn every single day, as well as from the teachers and their way of teaching. I feel really happy and grateful to go to sleep each day knowing that I’m growing both as a person and as a professional.
