Self Development I can say that I really enjoyed being part of the

festival, and it was nice to meet different people from different countries and to work with them as a group.

I hope to work again as a science communicator in the future because it is a chance to get knowledge and to learn new things about science

I can say that I learnt how to organize my time and to work hard in my work to get the best results.

Conclusion I can summarize my experience during the

festival by saying: (Amazing, lovely, attractive, Interesting and informative).
