More Young for a Better Future!

From Monday the 8th to Sunday the 14en Tasev held a training course for EVS participants, called "More Young for a Better Future".

More than 14 participants mainly from the Balcan Countries took part at this interesting and happy training and enjoyed the city where I live.

Me and Yana were part of the staff. We helped Ozgur, Jale, Fevzi and Mahmut in taking pictures during the activities, inventing new energizers games, caring out some bureaucracy tasks...

Every day we had the chance to deepen our relationships from one hand, and the knowledge of the EVS project on the other.

The first day we introduced one each others and then we started with some important topic such as the Youth In Action program, whose EVS is a part of.

I realized that many information were unknown to me and a clear exposition helped me to fix them in my mind.

The following days, we had time to express our individual expectations and ideas about our volunteering program. Most of the participants had never leave with the EVS program but anyway they had many experience in the volunteering field in their own country.

The organization which attracted me the most was ACTOR from Bucarest - Romania, which is a NGO  focused on theatre activities such as the shadow theatre and their main art is the japanese Origami.

On the third day, we brought the entire group on a visit at the Tasev office. They were so surprised to see how many activities are taking place in this building!

I hope that some of them will come to Gaziantep again, a city that they had the opportunity to explore in a 7 days program which included also a short trip to the Zeugma museum (where the ancient mosaics are) and at the underwater Zeugma site, located on the Euphrate river, in which I swam !

Some pictures of the happy training will come soon.... :)
