The closing ceremony of the second edition of the International Summer School
Rector Alishani expressed his belief in his speech that this would be an unforgettable experience for all participants. “These two weeks of learning, discovery, and personal growth have brought us closer together and expanded our horizons in ways that we will feel for the years to come. Since the beginning of this summer school, we have embarked on a collective search for knowledge and exploration. Our diverse origins and unique perspectives have collided here, creating an environment of collaboration, curiosity, and intellectual inquiry. Through lectures, thought-provoking discussions, and practical activities, we have had the privilege of delving deep into topics that have expanded our understanding of the world around us,” emphasized Rector Alishani.
Meanwhile, he added that the true essence of this summer school goes beyond academic efforts. “It’s the late-night conversations that ignited friendships, the ideas formed in common challenges, and the sense of community that has transformed this experience into something truly special. The connections we have forged and the memories we have created will stay with us as a testament to the power of shared learning and experiences. As we part from this chapter, let’s not forget the significance of what we have achieved here. We have not only gained new knowledge but also cultivated a mindset of continuous learning and growth. Armed with new perspectives and skills, we are better equipped to navigate the complexities of the world beyond these walls,” expressed Rector Alishani.
For the tireless work done, the Rector expressed his sincerest gratitude to the dedicated members of the staff, volunteers, and numerous supporters.
