Youth Exchange “See The Reality” happened in Diyarbakir from 20 August 2019 to 28 August2019. This project gathered 36 participants from 9 European countries as UK, Turkey, Romania, Lithuania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Portugal,
Czech Republic. They didn’t know that it was beginning of a great journey they were part of already.
We can easly admit that first day of training was already a success, participants created good working team and they created the great athmosphere. During next days they got to know each other even better, learned how to work in diverse small teams, how to trust each other and develop their initiatives.
To improve youths’ learning process, after every day of workshops they had to do (in pairs) reflections about their day, with some prepared questions by leaders and especially by their reflecting partners. That part was just a preparation for the main goal that they wanted to achieve during those workshops. After “Getting to know each other” and learning how to trust part, main part begun.
During breaks from preparations part, they were improving their acting skills in many levels, with use of many tools/excersises. And during breaks from workshops in general, they didn’t spend their time alone. It was actually a challenge to find anyone who is sitting or spending his time alone. Everyday meetings, playing games and spending time together... It was cherry on the top of the cake.
After this long journey, hard work that they put in all of this, it was obvious that performance in school will be a huge success for everybody. It was emotional time for all of us, some tears dropped.
Everyone was really happy but also kinda sad, because it was almost over of their lovely journey they really enjoyed. After it was time for some small intercultural activity with local society, with youths from school and not only. The well organised plan by leaders helped participants and local viewers to get along with each other. There were laughts, smiles and fun. Everyone was fullfilled and happy.
Unfortunately after all of this it was time to say last goodbyes (or maybe see you soon).
It was huge emotional moment for all of them. One thing is for sure – They won’t forget this experience for a long time.
