The CLMC master’s programme was a life-changing experience for me. Each university and location offered unique learning opportunities that I will cherish forever. I was able to grow a network of friends and contacts in children’s publishing across Europe, South America, and Asia. My supervisor supported me in publishing my work in the children’s literature journal The Lion and the Unicorn, and alongside my peers I spoke at conferences such as the 37th IBBY World Congress in Moscow. Now that I have graduated, I feel supported and confident in advancing my career as an aspiring writer, illustrator, and educator.
