Karina Lisboa Båsund

Karina is passionate about promoting sustainable economic development and believes that learning and understanding the world's diversity of thought, culture, belief and expression is fundamental in creating a better future. She recognized and got the opportunity to explore her passion during her time at United World College of the Adriatic where she was involved in projects stimulating interaction between diverse cultures, debates regarding political and environmental issues, and physically challenging team-building activities. Her goal for the year is to better understand the real-life situation in a developing country by integrating herself in another culture and allowing this experience to become part of her so that she will be better equipped at tackling the world's challenges. What inspires her to take action is conscious observation.
