Ebtihal Abdel Kawi Shedid (Egypt)

It takes just a quick encounter with Ebtihal Abdel Kawi Shedid to feel that communication is her passion. Being a graduate in German Literature, a KAAD scholarship offered her the opportunity to start a formation as a professional interpreter in Germany. Just before the revolution in early 2011, she had returned back home. Her position as an editor of the bilingual online magazine "Transit" issued by the Goethe Institute in Cairo is now giving her the chance to add momentum to the discourse on the social and cultural transition of her country. "Transit" features articles, blogs and commentaries by "facebook generation" authors from all over the Middle East and North Africa.
