I am Ebrar from Turkey. I like to know different cultures and learn new things. Besides these, visiting museums and galleries with my friends is one of my hobbies. I really enjoy singing. My favorite author is Stefan Zweig, and I literally get lost in the pages when I read his books.

I study English Language Teaching at Gazi University and I think that this international course that we'll take will teach me much more than I know about Data and will be a good step for my career. I hope we work in harmony with everyone and have a good time✶]]> 2021-09-13 10:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/klynch147/4hxx5buc40c2i80v/wish/1735630229 https://padlet.com/klynch147/4hxx5buc40c2i80v/wish/1735696350 2021-09-13 11:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/klynch147/4hxx5buc40c2i80v/wish/1735696350 Francesca Cremona https://padlet.com/klynch147/4hxx5buc40c2i80v/wish/1735713082 Hey there! :)

My name is Francesca Cremona, and I come from the little sunny island called Malta.

I consider myself a huge fan of music (I can't live without it), I like to adventure, I like fashion and also in my free time I like to create some art. I love getting to know new things about the world and the different cultures.

I've always been appreciative of the art involved in designing buildings and interested in the history behind architectural heritage which surrounds me, which is why I chose to study architecture at the University of Malta.

I applied for this course as I'm sure that I could benefit a lot from broadening my skills concerning data, which can come into use in my line of career. I also hope this will be a great experience for all of us where we can learn together.]]> 2021-09-13 11:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/klynch147/4hxx5buc40c2i80v/wish/1735713082 Kübra Toral https://padlet.com/klynch147/4hxx5buc40c2i80v/wish/1735783267 Hi there :)
I am Kübra and I am doing my bachelor's degree in English Language Teaching. I chose this career path due to my enthusiasm for different languages and cultures. To illustrate, I speak English, German and a little bit of French.
However, I am quite into different forms of art as well. Though I am not gifted to be succesfull in all art forms, I love visiting museums and monuments, going to concerts and attending poetry recitations just to enjoy works of art and appreciate artists' talents. Keeping this in mind, I attended a modern arts MOOC on an online platform and an had really good time diving deeper into this area.
When it comes to data skills; however, I should admit that I have never got a formal education neither via college nor internet. Therefore, I have some doubts regarding completing all the tasks with ease. However, I am sure it will be a great journey to learn new things and stepping out of my comfort zone.]]> 2021-09-13 11:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/klynch147/4hxx5buc40c2i80v/wish/1735783267 Emma Collins https://padlet.com/klynch147/4hxx5buc40c2i80v/wish/1735788924 My name is Emma Collins and I’m currently in my third year of studying Criminology and Sociology at the University of Gloucestershire.

The book I am currently reading is ‘It’s Not About the Burqa’, which is a collection of essays by Muslim women edited by Mariam Khan.

My reason for doing this course is to gain experience of working in international contexts and to learn more about communicating data.
