         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey, my name is Renaldas. I am a social worker and have been practicing social work for four years. For two of those years, I worked in Slovenia. I have always worked with vulnerable children and youth, and that is why I chose to study at ESCWOCHY! &lt;3 </p><p><br/></p><p>In my free time, I love to travel, spend time with friends, and be in nature. I especially enjoy the hills and mountains, which makes Ružomberok a perfect place for me! Sometimes, I also just enjoy doing nothing, which in my opinion, is very, very important.</p><p><br/></p><p>Digital technologies are a big part of both my professional and personal life. I believe that in contemporary society, digital skills are crucial, and access to the internet and technology should be considered a basic right of every citizen. Nowadays, if a person doesn’t have access, they might become isolated.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I am Clinton Sipho Ncube, aka Clintie, from Zimbabwe. I love working with children and youth. My interests are in digital hygiene and digital safeguarding for children and young people. My thought process is that Violence against children in cyberspaces requires equal attention as that of traditional 'offline' violence. My motto is 'a smile a day, keeps the doctor away’. Yes, it's debatable, I know, but think about it.</p><p><br></p><p>Watching sci-fi series and movies keeps me entertained, but the best moments for me are social activities with friends, creating unforgettable memories. You only live once #yolo</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><sub>Hi everyone! My name is Átila, I’m from Brazil and I studied psychology for my bachelor’s degree. I worked for five years in a psychosocial care center, first as an intern and later as a psychologist, supporting children, youth, and families. That experience shaped my interest in mental health for young people and showed me how important social work and collaboration between different fields can be in prevention and care.</sub></p><p><sub>Digital technologies are part of how I learn, practice, and connect every day. They’ve helped me collaborate with colleagues, share research, and stay engaged in discussions. I also see them as tools to expand access to mental health, whether through sharing resources, raising awareness, or building networks. In my personal life, I use them to learn languages and connect internationally, and I’d love to exchange ideas on how we can use technology to bring mental health support closer to those who need it most.</sub></p>]]></description>
