The students delivered presentations regarding the activities they had undertaken at their respective internship agencies. This event served not only as the culmination of their internship journey but also as a moment for them to exchange information and share experiences and knowledge gained during their time at these agencies. The presentations and discussions were conducted with great enthusiasm by students who had faced various challenges in the field.
