Testimony of Clémence, exchange student in Madrid

“My exchange in Madrid with Green Impact School was an unforgettable experience, both academically and personally. As a fourth-year student of the Grande École Program, I chose to spend a semester on the Madrid campus to broaden my horizons and discover new perspectives on sustainable development.

The Madrid campus is exceptional, with a warm atmosphere and a very dynamic international student community. The courses are extremely enriching and adapted to the specific challenges of the Mediterranean region, particularly in terms of natural resource management and adaptation to climate change.

What particularly struck me was the opportunity to participate in a field project on water management in arid environments. Working directly in the field, alongside local experts and other passionate students, was a real eye-opener. It allowed me to see the impact of our work and understand the challenges that local communities face.

Beyond the studies, living in Madrid has been an incredible adventure. The city is vibrant, rich in culture, and the encounters I had there were very inspiring. This exchange not only allowed me to improve my Spanish, but also to forge lasting friendships with students from all over the world.

I leave Madrid with a strengthened academic background, unforgettable memories, and an even greater motivation to pursue my career in sustainable development. If you have the opportunity to do an international exchange, I highly recommend it. It is an experience that truly changes the way we perceive the world.”
