 I think that the societal topic that interests me the most is the underrepresentation of minoritized groups of society. I think that this is a pressing issue that needs attention and action from policymakers, governments, organizations, whoever can contribute. My name is Anastasia Rusakova and I'm an alumnus of the Master's Degree Management of Cultural Diversity of Tuberk University. I'm focused on the issue of representation because I believe that lack of visibility of certain groups of community makes it impossible to create effective policies. It creates a cycle of underrepresentation and unmet needs. For governments and organizations, it's important to think and talk about how to take into account the differences between people and their unique needs. I chose this Master's because of its approach to tackling societal issues and Tuberk University's broad approach to diversity. It taught me and my fellow students how to understand the dynamics in communities, how to understand the needs and the challenges that underrepresented groups face. This understanding is important for creating inclusive policies and addressing the needs of these groups effectively. What I cherished the most was the room for open discussions both with professors and with my fellow students. Unlike traditional education, this program doesn't present the students with ready-made solutions. It gives them a lot of opportunities to collaboratively work on tackling societal issues. For example, by visiting and working with some organizations in the Netherlands. During my student life, I was surrounded by a diverse group of ambitious and intelligent people with their unique life stories and backgrounds. Because of this very diverse group, classroom discussions often extended beyond the academic boundaries. This experience made my time at Tuberk University both enjoyable and really meaningful. To future students, I would recommend to be proactive, open-minded and curious and to embrace the opportunity to change their perspectives through rich discussions. Also explore electives thoroughly because they offer you invaluable opportunities to deepen your understanding and skills. This program is not just about learning, it's about how we view and address societal challenges.
