TIMES MADIUN, JAKARTA – Nopita Nurhasanah, an outstanding Indonesian participant in PPI Dunia, demonstrated her commitment to volunteering at Euro Skills 2023 in Poland. Every two years, World Skills Europe organizes EuroSkills, the largest event in Europe concentrating on vocational education and skills development.

This event attracts over 32 member nations. This event is also eagerly awaited by hundreds of participants from all over Europe to compete and prove their superiority in various skills such as economics, robotics, culinary, and others.

The eighth iteration of the Euro Skills tournament was held in Poland this year. Resti Nopita was given the opportunity to take part in this activity as a volunteer during the European summer vacation. The student, who is studying a Master of Economics and International Affairs in Romania, and her classmates completed fundamental training covering a variety of topics as part of the preparations.

Out of 71 volunteers, Resti Nopita had the opportunity to step up to the platform and speak on behalf of the 120 volunteers who participated for the event. Together with her partner, she proudly waved the Euro Skills flag to signify the start of the tournament.

"I am proud to be part of Euro Skills this year, and it is a meaningful experience for me to be involved in this international event. Also, this event trained me to be able to work in a team with a multicultural work environment," Resti Nopita said on Sunday (17/09/2023). Also, Resti had the opportunity to accompany the team from Kazakhstan. But they only managed to place in the top 4, and took home six medals.

On the last day of the event, the Polish youth performed a traditional dance to conclude Euro Skills 2023.
