This post celebrates Rozan Alfarra, an IUC student from Gaza, who was recently featured in the press. The interview shares her journey from war and displacement to academic life in Turin.
Rozan's story highlights both the immense obstacles faced by students from conflict zones and the transformative role that scholarship opportunities and supportive academic communities can play. Her presence at the IUC is a testament to courage, perseverance, and the belief that education can open paths to dignity and justice.
Through her visibility in the media, Rozan also gives a voice to many others whose stories remain unheard, reminding us that behind every statistic there is a person, a family, and a set of aspirations.
We congratulate Rozan on this recognition and reaffirm our commitment to providing a welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds, particularly those affected by violence and displacement.
