Taha's dream of a just and fair world took him to Gothenburg

The student Taha Khatab is studying the master's program in Social Work and Human Rights in Sweden. He thinks the diversity of students, who come from different social systems and have different perspectives, is the best part of the education. “I really appreciate the engagement in student discussions”, Taha says.

Hi Taha! You are a student in the Master's programme in Social Work and Human Rights in Gothenburg. What do you like most about the programme?

I really appreciate the engagement in the classroom, especially during student discussions.

In what way?

I feel like sometimes we have our own UN because we come from different welfare systems, and we have different views on things. I think that's very interesting.

What are your goals after you graduate from university?

My biggest dream, actually, I was born as a Palestinian refugee, and I could never be returned to my own country. At the same time, I want to stand for vulnerable groups and for a just and a fair world that could benefit all world citizens.
