Fabienne Lang
Fabienne Lang is 25 years old and currently doing a Masters in European studies at the European Institute of the University of Geneva. Having studied for a Bachelor in International Relations she developed a strong interest in this region which was further developed while working part time for Osec and being responsible for the Middle East. Fabienne has experience organizing study trips and so was very keen to help planning this visit.
Valérie Gass
Valérie Gass is 24 years old and currently living in Ramallah. Having stayed in a Kibbutz after high-school she got to know the fascinating country a bit better and learned a lot about the culture and the Israeli lifestyle. This experience awakened her interest for the region and the Middle East in general. After her studies of International Relations (Geneva) and an exchange in Istanbul she decided to take one year off of before doing her Masters Degree. That's why she found herself in Israel/Palestine again, this time to travel around for a couple of months and then doing an internship at a German cultural institution.
