Every year, Team Iraq students experience exciting social & cultural experiments through they learn more about other countries’ languages, culture, and food, and carry the message of correcting the stereotype of Iraq, which is mainly related to the misleading media of war & conflict. They show that they belong to the global youth with their deep history towards the global future based on innovation & big dreams.
