Wow, where do I begin? The IPSE was the greatest weekend of my life. Ever. I'd say second greatest, but I was born on a Wednesday. I met individuals with a common yearning for public diplomacy and even more with unique attributes that makes them, in my eyes, all fitting candidates to go abroad with YES Abroad. One can only wish that all 120 would be awarded the scholarship, but let's keep in mind the 65 that do will have a great time. Thank you so much for being there, and I hope we can meet again :)! I made a video about my experience at the IPSE, watch it here! & Once again, thank you!
