Project report:

I knew this week will be a unique experience from the moment I arrived in Oradea and started talking with people there. After a while I noticed a couple of people I suspected might be the other participants. Just from this short ride from Oradea to Bicacel as I got to know them I was fascinated by the way they lived and how much energy and time they spent volunteering. I felt inspired as we were reaching our destination peaceful place with a couple of horses living together with a few cows. This inspiring atmosphere continued as we sat, watched nature and talked.

At that very moment we had no clear idea what is awaiting us and that 

The following week we will go to the core of the relationship and we will discover tools to help the youth with their everyday life as they face peer pressure and hard decisions.

We used tools like kamishibai, japanese storytelling technique, embodied learning, cards reflections, and gamified learning. From meditation-like stories to therapeutic techniques. And on our journey discovering healthy relationships something really beautiful happened. As we shared with each other our experiences, our feelings, something very personal from our own soul, what happened was almost inevitable, when the time came and we were leaving we were not leaving alone we were leaving as a real friends we truly discovered the power of relationships and now we are ready to help the youth do the same.
