Nature of participation:

I participated in a student exchange program, which was a unique experience. During this program, I learned new study methods and learned different teaching methods. I also developed my personal and social skills by interacting with students from different cultures. I participated in various academic and cultural activities that helped me understand new cultures and adapt to an environment different from my own. The experience was very beneficial and helped me build an international network, increasing my future opportunities, both academically and professionally.

Scientific and practical experience:

During my participation in the student exchange program, I gained significant academic and practical experience in the field of media. I trained in media work and participated in various conferences, where I had the opportunity to meet famous media professionals and specialized doctors and benefit directly from their expertise. I learned a lot about camera work, interviewing techniques, mobile journalism, as well as journalistic ethics and how to handle information responsibly.

We also undertook practical exercises on voiceover and took a marketing training course, which helped me comprehensively develop my media skills. In addition, I participated in workshops on the topic of hate speech in the media and how to deal with it, which helped me understand the responsibility of media professionals in conveying news and influencing public opinion ethically.

This experience was very enriching and taught me important practical skills, increased my self-confidence, and opened up new horizons for learning and working in the media field in the future.

Other activities:

My experience also included diverse cultural and recreational activities, including visits to places like Jerash and Ajloun, the Roman Amphitheater, and the Husseini Mosque in downtown Amman. I also toured museums in Amman and Salt, such as the Abu Jaber Museum and the Salt Film Center, which helped me learn about Jordan's rich heritage and culture. We also made educational visits to the private media city and the Jordan Radio and Television, where we learned about the media work process in both public and private institutions and witnessed firsthand how programs and media content are produced.

Among these visits, I had the unique opportunity to learn about the Jordanian Media Institute for Master's programs, where we learned about the nature of its academic programs, its practical training mechanism, and the role it plays in graduating qualified media professionals. This visit gave me a clearer picture of the advanced level of media education in Jordan and connected what I learned during the exchange with the reality of specialized academic training.

This experience, with all its details, helped me build an international network, increased my self-confidence, and opened up new horizons for learning and working in the media field in the future.
