“My exchange in São Paulo was an absolutely incredible experience, both academically and personally. As a fourth-year student in the Grande École Program at Tech Impact School, this immersion in Brazil allowed me to discover a new culture, while deepening my knowledge of the environmental challenges specific to Latin America.
The courses I took at the partner university were fascinating, especially those on sustainable management of tropical forests and ecological urban planning in megacities. I also had the chance to participate in field projects, including in favelas where we worked on reforestation and living conditions improvement initiatives. This allowed me to see first-hand the impact that sustainable solutions can have on local communities.
Outside of class, São Paulo is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city. I met people from all over the world, and was immersed in a dynamic atmosphere where cultural exchanges are a daily occurrence. This stay not only opened my mind to new perspectives, but it also gave me increased confidence to tackle future professional challenges.
I highly recommend this experience to all students who want to get out of their comfort zone, discover new horizons and have a positive impact on the world.”
