A graduate of East European languages, Russian, and intercultural studies, Joshua is in his final year of the Euroculture Erasmus Mundus master’s degree, having shared his time between Poland, Spain, Japan, and France. Although he specialised in European politics with a strong interest in EU integration mechanisms, his deeper connection with human rights defence and the promotion of democracy led him to expand his knowledge to international and human rights law. With his multicultural research on colonialism, identity and minority rights, put together with his previous involvement in European civil society initiatives such as the European Student Assembly and the Young Europeans, Joshua hopes his involvement as a Young European Ambassador will bring about positive change in Europe by raising awareness and helping to connect people.
