When I first learned that I would join the project, I was a bit nervous because I was afraid of meeting new people and speaking English in public. It was my first Erasmus+ project, and everything was very beautiful from beginning to end. EVERYBODY IN THE PROJECT WAS AMAZING! They encouraged me to speak in English and they listened to me patiently. Everyone accepted me as I was.
As I mentioned above, I was anxious about public speaking, especially in English. PIA helped me overcome this fear step by step during the project. In the end, I was the speaker at one of our workshops. Can you believe that? It was quite important for me to observe my own self-development.
This project was about willpower and during our stay we attended many facilitation activities to trigger our best selves. Being with international people was insightful. We also enjoyed the great nature of Poland. Even there was a lake most people enjoyed. I could not get in because it was too cold. However, I envy my friends who were enjoying it.
Positive impact for everyone
The project trainers greatly helped me with their training techniques and learning sessions. I really like the wheel of life exercise. That one was my favorite by far. Zeynep and Luka were amazing, and they conducted entertaining and informative sessions. They were mostly about willpower, time management, and self-esteem. We sometimes had to develop our own projects, which was quite challenging. These sessions surely create positive impacts for the participants.
To sum up, it was really fun and a great project for personal development. I believe my learning in this project will improve my life standards. I really appreciate that Erasmus + projects enabled us to be a better person. Everybody should attend a project before graduation.
