Hello everyone! My name is Baber Ahmadzai.

I am originally from Afghanistan and now live in Pocking, Germany. I’m a veterinarian with over 11 years of experience in livestock and animal health, and I’m passionate about rural development, education, and intercultural learning.

The photo above is a little snapshot of my everyday life — caring for animals, learning continuously, and embracing the peaceful rhythm of German village life. 🐄💚

I want to sincerely thank the Global Classroom Project Team for creating this incredible opportunity for us to connect across borders, share our experiences, and build global friendships. This journey inspires me deeply — as a professional and as a lifelong learner.

Let’s keep building bridges between our cultures — one conversation, one classroom, and one story at a time. 🌍

Hello everyone, my name is Olha Norenko. I am from Ukraine.

I come from a small town an hour's drive from Kyiv.

I graduated from school in 2014, and since then a lot has changed in the Ukrainian school system, as I mentioned in my presentation.

I was pleased to take part in this project, as many people only know about Ukraine in the context of the war, and education is an interesting area for comparison between Germany and Ukraine.

Thank you in advance for your interest in our project and in each presentation!

P.S. In the photo, I am in Ukraine during the last peaceful winter month.

„I am Tahir, originally from Afghanistan and currently a master’s student in Development Studies at the University of Passau in Germany. My educational journey has taken me from a rural school in a conflict-affected area to international classrooms, driven by a deep belief in education as a tool for transformation.

A fun fact: I used to walk 2–3 hours every day to get to school; so being part of a global classroom today feels especially meaningful.
