Nelli Tarapata

Nelli started her path as an active 17-year-old member of society in Dnipro, Ukraine. She was a winner of the Contest of Scientific Projects on International Relations among students of high schools in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and right then she knew that is what she was going to do. She went on to further organise the projects "Ambassadors of Unity" and "Voices of Democracy" during Weeks of Germany in Ukraine.

Currently, she is a member of the Dnipro Youth Council and Community Organisation of volunteers "HELPeru Dnipra", which allows her to help her city directly in different areas. Although she’s been active in the international relations field, she also has decided that she can write her own scientific work. In 2021 her work was highly appreciated by the Junior Academy of Sciences juries and she achieved the winning title on the national level.

One action Nelli would like everyone to take:

“I'd like people to be more open-minded to new initiatives. I have noticed that some people are too sceptical about innovations, and that applies to both international relations (as with my experience with projects in my school) and technologies (what I saw while presenting my scientific work).”
