Project report:
In the beginning of August, four participants from the Czech Republic had an opportunity to take part in a training course World of Diversity in Bansko, Bulgaria. The programme was created to get to know better our minds, emotions and accept people who are different to us. Appart from that, we did many energizers and icebreakers and had time for hiking in the Pirin mountains, visiting Jazz fest or practising morning yoga.
This project was really special thanks to participants who came from countries outside of the EU (Pakistan, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Ethiopia) who tought us many interesting cultural differencies.
All in all, it was such a great experience. We collected interesting methods of non-formal education, for example a shadow theatre or coat of arms. I am sure, that we can use these methods in the future.
Thanks to EYCB and Bulgarian organizers Ralitsa and Stan, we have amazing memories. We are grateful for them and hope that everybody can have this experience, too.

Dissemination event “World of Diversity” TC
On 16th August Lenka Svidrnochova and Filip Klumpar facilitated a dissemination event upon the Erasmus+ project “World of Diversity “ Which took place in Bansko, Bulgaria from 31 July 2019 to 7th August 2019. Ten young and motivated volunteers gathered in Nydek, Czech Republic to share their experience and spread out the vision of help without profit. The meeting was facilitated by using methods based on non-formal education which helped the participants to develop their personal awareness. The participants tried to make their coat of arms or tree of life. Feedbacks were mainly positive. For some of them, it was the first time they had to think about such deep topics, some of them had already reflected on their roots and wishes. The organisers Lenka and Filip, both volunteers from the Czech Republic who used some of the educational methods collected during the Bulgarian trainig course for youth workers called World of Diversity.
