Basma Almaza

    Basma Almaza holds a diploma from UNRWA and is currently pursuing a degree in business administration in Malaysia. She is an exchange alumni from AMIDEAST and EUROPE 101 leadership programs, which fueled her commitment to personal and professional growth.

    She aspires to a professional position that bridges the realms of international relations and educational exchange management, with a particular focus on research papers. “I firmly believe that writing plays a pivotal role in both fields,” Basma says. “It is how we express our feelings, and it is also the medium through which diverse groups and nations can foster mutual understanding.”
    Basma adds, “Writing serves as my primary tool to inspire and connect with people; I am a firm believer in the transformative power of words.
