It’s a coaching, baby or a fairy tale which always with you
At the moment we arrived in Latvia, we had no idea that this project would transform our outlook beyond recognition.
Our camping was located at a very beautiful place by the river Perse. The place we were staying in was very cozy and comfortable.
After we settled down we had our first session aimed at getting to know each other. It was a nice surprise that all the participants from Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Armenia and Moldova we got acquainted with were very intelligent and determinated. Although it might have been awkward to work with people you don’t know well, we had a lot of fun, because everything was very interesting and dynamic.
But still we had some serious work to do. We started with learning about Erasmus+ and Youth Pass and discussing who NEET were and we personally can do for them.
This basic knowledge was essential to begin to work on our skills of coaching.
Our coach softly explained to us that we have to be responsible for the life we live, for our aims, desires and intentions. Because once you learned how to help yourself, you can help others as well. That was the next step. It was such a great feeling, when at the beginning of the conversation you don’t know what to do at all, but afterwards all the knowledge leads you to providing a person with qualitative help.
The way we spent our free time was also outstanding and various.
We had the multicultural evening held, where every team presented its country and told other participants about the national traditions and cuisine.
Incredible river sightseeing trip with a real captain, a visit to Koknese island and a traditional Latvian dinner and sauna later on.
The so called possibility evenings were outstandingly interesting.
Professional trainers, well organized staff, different interesting participants, hospitality of organizers (special thanks goes to guys responsible for food. Delicious!) – all of them helped us to have an amazing time during the project.
We will never be the same – now we are much more tolerant, smart, kind and happy.
