As the Head of Mediazone, I am immensely proud to witness the incredible journeys our student volunteers undertake. Today, I am thrilled to share a heartfelt testimonial from Max Parker, a dedicated volunteer from Colorado, U.S., who has been with us for the last two semesters through the University of Nicosia Global Semesters program.
Max’s experience exemplifies one of Mediazone’s most important missions: providing practical, hands-on experience in the digital media industry for our students, combined with mentorship that fosters both technical skills and personal growth. Guided by our passionate staff and student team, Max thrived within our supportive community, achieving remarkable progress. He took on roles such as camera operator, production assistant, editor, and clapperboard/slate operator with enthusiasm and positivity.
Below is Max Parker’s testimonial, capturing the essence of his transformative journey with us. We are thankful for all our volunteers and proud of Max’s accomplishments. His words reflect the spirit of Mediazone and the profound impact our program can have on budding media professionals.
Thank you, Max, for sharing your journey. Your growth and achievements inspire all potential students in this field, and we are confident that your future in the media industry will be bright and successful.

“Volunteering at Mediazone was one of the most impactful experiences during my time in Cyprus. Mediazone provided me with more hands-on experience than I could have ever imagined. After just one week I was already directing a project, and under the guidance of other student assistants learned about all aspects of production in an environment mirroring the real digital media industry.
Whether it is scriptwriting, video editing, or backstage management there’s always a role to both teach and enhance one’s skills alongside a community that encourages and motivates one another to create the best content they can. Both John (Head of Mediazone) and Kyri (Facilities & Operations Coordinator | Production Support) are also incredibly strong leaders, and working beside them and watching how they direct and manage projects is an honor I will never forget. It is clear they both have a great passion for their work and it really shows in how they develop and create content. Mediazone truly prepares one for their future in a way that is unlike anything I have seen before. I am so thankful for my time, brief as it was, as part of the Mediazone crew. I know that the things I learned will help foster my future and I will hold onto this experience forever.”
Thanks again!
