Elias Amro, a 25-year-old technology student from Bethlehem, moved to Ireland in September 2024 to pursue a master's degree at Dublin City University. He was motivated by Ireland's support for Palestinians and received the Ireland Fellow Programme scholarship. While studying, he often worried about his family's safety in Palestine due to ongoing conflicts. Despite these challenges, he excelled academically, achieving first-class honors in his MSc in Electronic and Computer Technology. His final project, the Student Outlet, aims to support the circular economy and reduce waste among students.
