With the support of TREES, this experience contributed to Juan Sebasti\u00e1n's formative process as a researcher, broadening his academic and personal perspectives. What was this experience like for him? Below, we share his testimony.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the support of TREES, I had the opportunity to do an academic stay at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, an opportunity that marked both my professional and personal growth and that leaves me with experiences and learning that otherwise I would not have been able to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a personal level, this experience transformed my perspective on what is possible. Studying at Harvard had never been an even imaginable option for me, but today it has become a real dream that I strive for at work every day. Living in another country, adapting to a new culture and communicating in a different language was a major challenge, as I had not had the opportunity to do so before. However, this was also an opportunity to broaden my knowledge, question my place in the world, the opportunities and privileges I have and strengthen my autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a professional level, the stay allowed me to advance more quickly and in greater depth in my research project. I attended seminars and classes given by leading professors in education research, which enriched my ideas and opened new avenues to continue expanding my research agenda. I participated in discussions with doctoral students who shared their experiences with me. This allowed me to better understand how academic trajectories are constructed in international contexts. I learned new methodologies and research approaches that complement my previous training and gained confidence in my ability to contribute, from my experience, to conversations and decisions in the research project I am working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I was also able to establish links with students and researchers from different countries who share similar interests. At the same time, being surrounded by such skilled people in such a demanding environment was a challenge, but also a motivation to reflect on the quality of my education in the eyes of a future international projection. In short, this experience gave me more than knowledge: it gave me clarity about my vocation, new tools for my academic and professional development, and the impetus to keep striving.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Durante marzo de 2025, Juan Sebasti\u00e1n Lemos, estudiante de la Maestr\u00eda en Econom\u00eda PEG de la Universidad de los Andes, hizo una estancia acad\u00e9mica de un mes en la Escuela de Educaci\u00f3n de Harvard.
