I study Political Science and International Relations at the University of the Peloponnese. My main academic interests include European politics, the role of civil society organizations in global governance and human rights. I have been a volunteer at the European Youth Parliament since 2018, and have organized multiple conferences aiming to promote youth's civic participation. During my SUSI on Environmental Issues, I am looking forward to gaining a deeper understanding of how environmental issues influence world politics, and of the way that sustainable development can assist economic growth in smaller, rural cities such as Corinth, the place where my University's Department is located.
