Museum institutions and non-profit organizations (focused, for example, on work with migrants) are also suitable spheres where the acquired knowledge, abilities and skills can be further developed. Since he will have knowledge of the cultural diversity of the world, language competences and the ability to work with people, he will be able to work in the private sector, e.g. in tourism, or in the broad field of cultural activities.
