My Pre-Departure Preparation to Germany:
Not in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined to sit in a class attending a Summer School in Europe, while being in my final year at the University of Stellenbosch, completing my Honours Degree in Political Science. A friend of mine awakened my aspiration to attend an international Summer School, when she shared her experiences of attending a Summer School in Berlin in 2013. Being a Namibian student studying in South Africa, opportunities like these are rare, which inspired me to apply to attend the 2015 international Summer School hosted by the University of Bayreuth, Germany.
