During our third day of the projects we had workshops about
what we fear the most during next days of the project. What we expect to gain
in the meaning of learn and what can be our contributions for the project to
make it better and on a higher level.
We had a lot of common fears, contributions and expectation.
Starting with expectations a lot of us want improve our
language skills to be closer of speaking fluently. Many from the participants
also came here to gain an experience in debates and as our project is about
debates it is a perfect place to gain this kind of experience. Except the
previous two a lot of participants wrote that youth exchange is a perfect
opportunity to get new friends and to exchange culture fun facts about polish
and ukrainian culture.
Talking about fears. The main fear is the ability to
communicate in english. A lot of participants are afraid of speak as in many
cases it is their first time when they have possibility to use english to
communicate with other. Participants wrote also on the papers that they have a
fear of being not understand and not accepted to the rest of the group.
Some of ours participants wrote also about being not treated
seriously by others. Only a few wrote about being hungry and about being
bullied.
During the reading of their fears Me and Weronika were
trying to dispell the fears and as the next days showed we made it!
Taking to the contributions. It seems that our project has
very differential people with many diversed skills. Few people wrote that they
are good at taking photos. As we asked our Ukrainian partner, organization
Creativ, for diversed people in debating we have them. Many among us has
already taken part in debates and they are very likely to spread the
experiences and skills with others. Also, many of us are very good at writing
articles, painting and conducting the workshops. As they next days showed their
experience was very important to rise the standard of our project. As a very
interesting fact I can say that we have also one poet in the group who is very
likely to help us with work during project.
