The cultural exchange event was successfully launched on the occasion of the second session of the Dandelion Program-Cultural Exchange Series on March 11, 2022. The participating students exchanged the opportunity to experience the amusement of cultural exchange in the midst of distance learning despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The second participatory session of the cultural exchange series was entitled "How does nuclear energy reduce the global warming?" which is in line with the danger of climate change and its seriousness to all living things around the world. The session was hosted by the Jordanian student, Shamekh Alshboul, who presented about nuclear technology and its role in promoting biofuel production that emits less carbon levels than fossil fuels which known as green algae.

The second presentation was given by the 2021 Turkish student, Gulen Omer Faruk. He presented and gathered the speakers to exchange information about the most important ways to reduce global warming through nuclear technology, which is one of the most important alternative energy sources, especially in the production of electricity.

Besides, Enes Araci, a TUNEM 2021 student from Turkey, introduced the audience to the role of nuclear reactors in reducing carbon. He described the importance of nuclear energy in electrical power generation as an essential alternative to fossil fuels, which in turn lowers the level of carbon emissions.

There will be 16 events more to hold in succession. By organizing the cultural exchange event, we wish to enhance mutual understanding between different countries and cultures worldwide and eventually to develop global competencies of all the TUNEM students.
