Douglas, the Chairperson of the Council of Nations ARIS, will be the first guest who will tell us a bit about himself and his achievements within our organisation 🤩
1️⃣Tell us about yourself. How did you find out about ARIS?
Hello everyone, my name is Douglas and I'm from Brazil. I found out about ARIS through English and Russian Speaking Clubs soon after I came at the university to study
2️⃣ What did you like in ARIS?
In that moment I realised that it's a group of people working to help international students adapt to university life. I really liked initiatives, events and the fact that students were and are engaged in extracurricular activities, showing their interest
3️⃣Tell us more about your experience in ARIS
For the first time I became a Chairperson in 2023. After a few years of simply participating in ARIS events, I've become the association member, a very active one, by creating videos and helping with events. With time, I was invited to participate in the elections for the position of Chairperson, which led to my election. The responsibilities of this position include holding meetings between representatives of the associations that are part of ARIS
4️⃣ What inspires you to continue working within ARIS?
I'm always inspired to work in the association to attract other international students and the fact that we can work together to introduce everyone to different cultures, organising events that promote unity among different cultures and groups
Douglas is a very talented and open-minded student, activist, and good friend who came from a very distant place. We wish him success, and ARIS is inspired by him ❤️
