Mohamed Sakr
Age 22 – Egypt
Mohamed Sakr has been a young entrepreneur and a Public Relation Specialist since the beginning of 2014 at the age of 19 years old, after he had started to work for the Arab Organization for Public Relations and Popular Diplomacy in 2015. He has been recently selected as ‘AMBASSADOR OF THE YEAR 2016′ for his project Building Bridges that provided more than 300 University Students in Egypt with free internships in Public Relation, Diplomacy and international Communication.
In August 2015 he co-founded through crowdfunding the German Academy (MIG) that offer high qualified German Courses for very fair prices to face the exaggerated prices from other languages institutes in Egypt. Today the MIG Academy has 4 branches, 30+ instructors and workers and more than 600 students currently.
Under Mohamed’s engagement, the International Model United Nations of Middle East and North Africa has been established and the first conference will be held in Sousse, Tunisia in July 2017. More than 350 participants from 30+ countries will take part in this conference to negotiate and tackle the topics of the 2030 United Nations’ Agenda for Sustainable development goals.
Sakr is studying Bachelor of Political Science and Bachelor of European Studies at the University of Vienna and he is a political science faculty Mentor.
He got into this line of life when he dared to say no for studying pharmacy and moved from Egypt to Austria to study political science as a first bachelor and European Studies as a second bachelor to internationalize his personal skills.
