BIO My name is Omar Ahmed Shazly, a 27 years old architect born and raised in Cairo, Egypt. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering with honours and working as an architect in Egypt for one year, I joined Politecnico di Milano as a master’s student in Sustainable architecture and Landscape design in September 2020. During my master’s, I was chosen among other 10 students from Politecnico di Milano to join the Alliance4tech exchange program and do two exchange semesters abroad; the first one was at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and the second was at Technische Universität Berlin. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to take part in six workshops and do two internships in different places in Europe. Currently, I am doing an internship in Rotterdam while working on my final thesis, and I am expected to finish both of them and earn my master’s degree by next May 2023. And so, having the opportunity to study and work in 4 different countries in Europe in less than three years gave me the ability to adapt myself to any work or learning environment, work with many people with different backgrounds, and be open to new cultural ideas.
