Brief Report on Student Information Day Event
On 15th September 2022, TOOLKIT Project members at Yangon University of Economics organized a Virtual Student Information Day in the framework of TOOLKIT Project WP5 – Promoting Engagement in International Relations. The major objective of the event is to share the experiences and exposure of the students who successfully completed the Erasmus+ and/or other overseas study and exchange programmes. The event was attended by about 90 participants, belonging to Master Programmes, Under Graduate Programmes, Alumni and Academic staff from the university.
The event started with welcoming speech by Dr. Tin Tin Htwe, Rector of Yangon University of Economics.
