Polina is an International Relations student at Kyiv University of Taras Shevchenko. She is passionate about both politics and volunteering and has found a way to mix the two in her day-to-day life. She participates in and organises Model United Nations events and assists her colleagues in organising charitable events for her community, where she gets to practice her leadership and diplomacy skills. Polina speaks English, Spanish, and a little German, which helps her connect with people from different cultures. She believes this deepens mutual understanding between countries and creates opportunities to build bridges across borders for a more connected world.
