Hello everyone, I am Melike. Between July 14-22, I had a very nice project experience in Casoaia, Romania thanks to Antalya Value Creators Association. "A World of Difference" train-the-trainer program trained us for 1 week on how to become a trainer. This project topic was very exciting for me. Because, as a pre-service teacher, I was very eager to learn how to be a trainer.

       During the training, while developing self-confidence to become a trainer, we learned many things such as how to use time efficiently, how to organize, different concepts of group and team. At the same time, we improved our cooperation and communication skills by having the opportunity to work with different people during the training.

       Outside of the training hours we explored the natural beauty of Casoaia. I made great friends by communicating with people from many different countries. In our free time we played games like table tennis, volleyball and uno. We taught each other words from our languages and exchanged cultures. We talked a lot, had fun and promised each other that we would meet again. On our last day, we said goodbye to each other with a beautiful campfire.

          All participants in this training were responsible, willing to learn new things and stable. I feel very lucky to have such an experience with this team. Going to another country can be scary for some people. But I think there is no need to be afraid. I am sure that this experience will give you confidence and a different perspective on life. In life, you don't always have everything in front of you. Sometimes you have to take a step and seize the opportunities. This was my first experience abroad but I am sure it will not be my last. I would like to thank                     Antalya Value Creators Association and Ofensiva Tinerilor for this beautiful experience. These people working to broaden the horizons of young people are really valuable.
