Student profile: Alexandra Sulz, 21 years old, Environmental Engineering student<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thu: How do you define cultural diversity?<\/b><\/p>\n

Alex: I would define it as the combination among cultures in society, in a group or an organization.<\/p>\n

Thu: Do you think cultural diversity and globalisation are the same?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alex: They connect with each other; without globalization, it is hard for cultural diversity to be created. But I think globalisation is a bigger thing.<\/p>\n

Thu: Which benefits does cultural diversity bring you?<\/b><\/p>\n

Alex: I love travelling a lot. I enjoy cultural exchanges, and I do a lot of volunteer work via a platform called Workaway. There you can find your host from anywhere and ask to stay with them, help them and learn about their cultures. I always feel happy to get to know new things in life, especially in terms of cultures and traditions. I learn to cook new food, eat with more than forks and knives, wear traditional clothes and more.<\/p>\n

Thu: How is your student life connected with diversity?<\/b><\/p>\n

Alex: I lived in an international WG before, but we felt like family. Everybody shared their culture with me, and I learned a lot from them.<\/p>\n

Thu: Do you think COVID-19 has affected cultural diversity since it restricts social contacts and creates more inequality?<\/b><\/p>\n

Alex: Totally. As an extrovert, I think it is sad to stop travelling and get to know other cultures. I hope that the pandemic will soon be cured so that we could move freely again.<\/p>\n

Thu: Do you think digitalisation and technologies help us to bring more cultural diversity?<\/b><\/p>\n

Alex: I’m not a fan of technologies and social media, but I think it does help bring people from all over the world together. It is just a different experience when you meet a person personally than digitally. However, I still recognize and acknowledge the benefits of virtual networks.<\/p>\n

Thu: Thank you so much for your time and effort!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
