The experiences of others can often broaden our horizons, offering us new perspectives on the world — especially when they overcome challenges that many of us can hardly imagine. Halil Kurmehay participated in our 5th Executive Seminar on EU Rapprochement and Integration program and is now part of our alumni network. He attended our alumni conference in Tirana and shares his experiences as a blind individual.
„The recent seminar was an outstanding experience, characterised by a welcoming environment that truly enhanced my engagement. From the initial moments, I felt the organisers had prepared carefully to ensure a positive reception for all participants. Every session was thoughtfully structured, and the seamless coordination made for a smooth, enjoyable experience. The facilitators fostered open discussion, allowing us to delve deeply into relevant topics and connect on both professional and personal levels. This welcoming approach not only made me feel valued but also maximised the benefits of the seminar, leaving me with lasting insights and connections. This description captures both the structure and the warmth of the organisation of the seminar and how it contributed to a meaningful experience. “
