16-28 Eylül İsveç

1 Yıl Önce

This was my first project with ÇEVKA and I had a really great time. The ‘Healthy Life’ project was in Katrineholm, Sweden. It was a two-week project which raised awareness about mental health after the pandemic. There were many participants from Ukraine, Lithuania, Greece, Turkey, and Sweden. It was a very emotional and lively project even though we had problems with the Swedish organization team. Moreover, the nature of Sweden was very pleasing to look at. There were many trees and a lake around our accommodation place, which was mentally soothing. During the project, we performed many physical and other stress-relieving activities for a healthier life, both from mental and physical perspectives. As We used interactive methods and many activities that require either physical or mental activities. We had many activities that required mental activity. We meditated, did yoga, and we socialized a lot. Also, we talked a lot about life and all, which was very helpful to relieve. In addition, we hiked in the forest, swam in the lake, danced, and played sports as physical activity. As a highly active person, who trains almost every day, these activities were really enjoyable. As Mustafa Kemal Atatürk said, ‘A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.’. The culture nights we had were very informative and entertaining. During these nights, we had local drinks and foods, danced a lot, and shared enlightening pieces of information about our countries. It was very interesting to hear that the Swedish people were not as enthusiastic as me about their Viking past. All in all, this project was delightful, and I would like to thank ÇEVKA for allowing me to participate in it because it helped me to relieve my stress and relax during a very difficult time.
