4) Interview with our Local
Coordinator Sumeja Tulic
Since when are you working for the
BCC?
My name is Sumeja Tulic and I
am a BCC Alumni. After graduating from Law
faculty, in October 2008, I was happy to read
somewhere on the internet that WUS Austria Office
Sarajevo has an open vacancy for the BCC
Coordinator.
What was your motivation to start
working for BCC?
My motivation to start working for BCC came out
of the positive experience that I lived having
competed in the sub competition and the finals in
Viennain 2007.
Which element of the BCC leaves the
most important trace for you in your country?
BCC in
Bosnia and
Herzegovina
presents a rare opportunity for motivated students
to meet colleagues from all B-H universities, get
very useful trainings, compete and have fun.
Given your experience in the last years
- as participant and as organiser of the BCC -
which tips do you find most valuable for the
participants?
What I would advise future participants of BCC
is that they should do their part of the work
:
- on time,
- without stress,
- the best they can
And the results will be really good!
