Nastasja & Evangelos : Reunion at FEPSAC Congress 2019
Nastasja Minja, Slovenia, 2018: “After two years spent in Greece engaging in completing my master's degree, gaining new life experience and networking with people from all over the world, the only thing I can say is that EMSEP was an unforgettable and worthwhile experience from all the possible perspectives that come to mind - education, practical experience, friendship and life skills” Evangelos Manolopoulos, Greece, 2013: "The program opened new avenues for me: a great two-year experience consisted of scientific expertise, personal development and international networking"
"EMSEP provided me the opportunity to work together with incredible researchers and establish a group of friends that will last a life time. I will always be grateful for how this program helped me grow as an individual"
"As an athlete, I thought I already understood everything, but after my 2 years, I truly understand the importance of psychology in sport and exercise. Thank you!"
“I came to this course in order to expand my knowledge on psychology…” “It’s great to be here with so many others international students where I can learn about different cultures”
"If you are looking for first-class lecturers and knowledge in sport psychology, if you like to eat good, if you like relaxed environment, unbeatable climate and good looking people – Thessaly is the right choice for you"
