Reflecting on the virtual exchange project with students from Iraq has been an enlightening and transformative experience. This unique opportunity allowed me to engage with individuals from a vastly different cultural and social background while tackling a shared problem collaboratively. At first, I was uncertain about how well we would be able to communicate and work together, considering the cultural and linguistic differences. However, this experience taught me that despite these differences, we all share common goals and a desire to understand each other better.
