Scholarship or something for an Algerian student
I want to know if there are ways for an English Literature student from Algeria to get a scholarship or something that can help me travel to a new country. If it's a fully-funded exchange program or any volunteering program, that would be awesome

 * You can look at Studying abroad, Volunteer travel, or Au pair for ideas. Some countries have publicly funded grants for foreign students or volunteers (for example, the US has Fulbright grants for students and language teachers). —Granger (talk · contribs) 16:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Finland is another country with scholarships. I don't know who get them and what they cover, but they are intended as a compensation for the tuition fees for non-EU students. The requirements on funds or income for getting a student visa should show what level of expenses you should be prepared for. Don't count on covering living expenses by working. An Anglophone country might of course be your first choice, but if you want to experience the EU, Finland might be typical expense-wise (if you get the scholarship), and I assume the quality of tuition, including teachers' English skills, is good here. –LPfi (talk) 11:03, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Have you talked to your professors? I assume your university has cooperation with foreign universities, and they should know what exchange programmes are available through your institution. Also, France may have scholarships especially targeted at Francophone Africa. –LPfi (talk) 11:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Travel to Erbil during Ramadan
I have the option to travel to Erbil, Iraq during Ramadan or shortly after. Which option should i choose and why. And are there any special rules for traveling/eating while Ramadan?

 * See Travelling during Ramadan. I don't know of any restrictions on travelling, but you certainly know the eating and drinking restrictions. Erbil is probably quite liberal, so if you don't want to comply, I assume you can find restaurants that allow eating and drinking out of sight from the street. –LPfi (talk) 11:12, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
