Meet & Greet Event about EDUCATION ABROAD opportunities, challenges, and strategies with Nataliia Chudnovska at SARGOI International Community on Nov 17th. 2017

• Why people decide to study abroad?
• How do they benefit from short-term language programs and why life-long learning is getting more and more popular nowadays?

Because people:

• want to broaden their mind
• are ready to develop global thinking
• determined to meet new people, face new challenges and opportunities
• become "possibilitarians" who get important projects
• are willing to refine their talents
• start learning to be autonomous

And the list may never end. So we invited Nataliia Chudnovska, a global educator and study abroad expert to tell SARGOI learners more about the challenges students face when they choose a country and /or a programme.
