On Wednesday, October 13, 2021, GERMIN organized the fourth lecture within the project “Network of Youth Organizations and Associations” with the speaker Marsela Ceno, and Manuela Canaj.

The “Opportunities for Studies and Employment in the Medical Sector in Germany” lecture was well structured considering there were many speakers, each offering their own knowledge and perspective to the audience participating. The lecture began with an opening speech from Dr. Marsela Ceno, a renowned doctor who has gone through many hardships to become who she is now. A doctor practicing in Germany, as well as Founder and Head Director of The Association of Albanian Doctors in Germany, honorable mentions in her career are also her many awards in the Medical field. After her introduction, Dr. Ceno went on to guide the students with her expertise, providing detailed information about how the students can apply abroad and the vast job opportunities for medical students. 

Manuela Canaj, Representative of the Albanian Medical Students Faction in the framework of The Association of Albanian Doctors in Germany, also joined the lecture as a speaker. After the short introduction, Canaj gave students a constructed guideline of what is needed to succeed as a medical student in Germany. She shared a detailed description of the inner works of the med schools in Germany, as well as what is required to be accepted, opportunities for scholarships, language requirements, et cetera. 

The discussion had students intrigued, thus the many questions that proceeded were answered by all speakers, Dr. Marsela, Dr. Manuela, Dr. Agron, and Dr. Krisid. They all were delighted to be of use to the bright students with their knowledge and previous experiences. Another key thing to mention is the overflow of conversation and the amazing cooperation between the speakers and the participants. Regarding the specific topic this lecture had, the students received great motivation towards implementing the many advice that were shared during the talk.

The lecture on “Opportunities for Studies and Employment in the Medical Sector in Germany” was held in the framework of the “Network of Youth Organizations and Associations” project supported by the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Kosovo and will be followed by a series of lectures on various topics featuring speakers from the diaspora and Kosovo. The project’s goal is to connect Kosovo’s youth and student groups with those in the diaspora, as well as to strengthen the capacity of young people who work in these organizations.
