How do you motivae the youths living in developing world for the better future?

As long as I have been able to look into the world of science, I try to show its magic for as many people as possible. Therefore I am a member of different student associations and programs in Hungary. I always try to find the most effective way of sharing information: giving presentations, appearing in the media, taking advantage of social media platforms or talking personally with people who are interested. In my mind, if someone wants to show others how much they could reach, the best example is one’s own experience. Because of this, I try to get more impression about the world and share that with the public.

However, until now I have missed an international network of youth who want to do for a better future. So now I believe that the being a member of OYAOP Ambassadors Program can give an irreplaceable opportunity to motivate students even more and also can help me to get to know similar young people from all over the world.
