Cultural Mosaic in Silivri

Cultural Mosaic in Silivri

1 Yıl Önce

Greetings to everyone, Today, I will talk about the youth exchange called "What brings us herE+", which took place in Istanbul on July 1-11, 2022. This project brought together 60 young people from six countries in Silivri, Istanbul. As someone who has participated in Erasmus+ projects before, this project was legendary for me. We stayed in a practice hotel in the Selimpaşa neighborhood of Silivri and the hotel was connected to the tourism high school right next to it. If I had been asked before I joined the project how much the project would change me, I would never have guessed that I would change so much. I experienced a level of development that I could not expect from myself, especially in terms of self-confidence and teamwork. The first one or two days passed as a process of getting used to the project and getting used to the project. In this process, we got to know the participants and got to know them better. We are at a level to chat between sessions. Therefore, in this respect, the project was of particular importance to me. From day one, I was impressed by the open-mindedness and sympathy of all participants. Afterwards, I believed wholeheartedly that I would live a week with wonderful memories. We did many activities and group work throughout the project. Each day of the week, a different group introduced its own culture with a culture night. Meanwhile, food, shelter and other physical facilities were fine and satisfactory. I gained an experience that I will never forget, not only in words, but in real life and that I will remember with a smile on my face. Since this project is not my first and I have been involved in such projects 4-5 times before, I can say with peace of mind; ÇEVKA is an organization that carries out its work in the most professional and organized way, cares about the satisfaction of the participants and strives to get the highest possible efficiency from the project. In this event, which had a high number of participants, everyone, especially the foreign participants, came back to their homes, loving both the city, the project and ÇEVKA. I would like to thank ÇEVKA for making this experience real and possible. We really improved us thanks to this project. It was amazing opportunity to be part of the project at the same time learn a lot of knowledge about art and learn about the other cultures.It was awesome moments for us. Have a look at some photos of our adventure!
