https://padlet.com/ritatrpr/um2rikcl0ysw I study a BA in Global Studies at the university. This degree is in English so I practice the language every day. In this Padlet I want to share some of my works and experiences I ​lived related to my studies. en-us 2017-05-01 16:03:15 UTC 2025-10-03 05:33:53 UTC hello@padlet.com ritatrpr https://padlet.com/ritatrpr/um2rikcl0ysw/wish/169212218 I took a course related to United Nations. I received lessons about its history, organs, treaties and worldwide actions. One of the exercises students were required to do was a "Political Memorandum" in which I took the position of a Cuban Assessor of a UN Ambassador. I was required to make recommendations to the Ambassador as well as highlight the Cuba's position in the following topic: "the refugee's crisis and the Syrian civil war".

Moreover, the next exercise was taking the role of the Ambassador and perform at the United Nations General Assembly. This was an opportunity to speak in English in front of a large audience (more than 80 students were listening to my motions and opinions representing the Republic of Cuba).

I attach below my Political Memorandum:]]> 2017-05-01 16:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ritatrpr/um2rikcl0ysw/wish/169212218 ritatrpr https://padlet.com/ritatrpr/um2rikcl0ysw/wish/169215317 During a week my university organized the "First Global Week", it consisted in a series of conferences dealing with topics of Economics, Technology and other global approaches. The professors doing the conferences where from around the world so I had the opportunity of listening different accents.

I attach the essay here.]]> 2017-05-03 07:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ritatrpr/um2rikcl0ysw/wish/169604237 ritatrpr https://padlet.com/ritatrpr/um2rikcl0ysw/wish/169607691 I read more than 100 pages in English every week. In all the courses I am taking students are required  to prepare readings before class and to read in order to follow the subject. Some of them are difficult to understand so I study always with the dictionary by my side. Here I just want to link one reading which I find it can be interesting for everyone. It is about the Cold War.]]> 2017-05-03 07:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ritatrpr/um2rikcl0ysw/wish/169607691 ritatrpr https://padlet.com/ritatrpr/um2rikcl0ysw/wish/169608405 In order to learn more about the country I was assigned (read the Padlet on the left) I found interesting the following text in order to realize how is the situation of women in decision-making positions.
