WWB

World without borders -

project is an alternative education for

high-school students that will help

pupils to develop their soft-skills. WWB

aims to break stereotypes of high-

school students about other countries,

share with them traditions and culture

of different nations, develop culture

tolerance.

On 23rd of January the 2nd wave of the World Without Borders project started…

So what about the second wave?-We asked OCP, Sasha Sikorska:

- What was the main idea of the 2nd WWB?-The main idea of the project was that foreign volunteers were delivering trainings for Ukrainian school students on the leadership, project management, time management topics, discussions on cultural and social topics.

-Who participaed? -Eight schools have taken part in the project, i.e. #296, 28, 128, gymnasium “Erudit”, “Vsesvit”, “Scandinavian gymnasium”, “European college” and Boryspil gymnasium “Perspectiva”. In general, about 250 students were listening to trainings from volunteers. The trainers for the project came from all the parts of the world. And they are: curly Sera from Turkey, dancing Caio from Brasil, smily Kivanc from Turkey, childish Andrej from Slovakia, David that solves Sudoku from Brasil, Indah – a girl with a Chinese blood, born in Indonesia and lives in Australia, Bingxi that came here just for two weeks but for great changes from China, curios Min from Malaysia and probably the kindest person in the world – Ahmed from Egypt. The project lasted for 6 weeks and

every single day of these 6 weeks were amazing, changeable, unforgettable for organizational committee and interns as well as for students.

-Was it worth it?)-As for now the project is over and the interns have left home. But thanks to interns, the students, that have taken part in the project, learnt a lot, opened new cultures and traditions, made new friends. The best thank for me, as an organizational committee president, were the following words from Valeria, 9th grade student, school #296: “As it is said, THIS IS IT! Tomorrow is the first day without our interns( but we really want it to last forever. How everything started! Nervous teachers, our trembling hands and smiles to the ears. It was really cool!”

-How was it to be an OCP of this project?-In the end I would love to say that being the OCP is really hard, sometimes it just exhausts you. BUT, exactly this experience, when you are responsible not only for realization of the project but, what is even more important, for the people (interns, OC of the project, students) makes a person braver and teaches the life. So don’t be afraid of changes, organize, create and everything will be amazing and unforgettable!

Children's Path is an educational and entertainment project for children from orphanages.The project was conducted by five

interns - Kostantinos (Greese), Karanveer (India), Prinka (Indonesia), Ivan (Serbia), Guilherme (Brasil), Su (South Korea) during December-January. Each lesson they made together with the children virtual trips around Ukraine. While "travelling" they played exciting games, developed their communicative skills and made their first steps in

learning English. "Children's Path" is a project that gives joy and motivation to those who really need it. It's all about love, it's all about friendship, it' s all about hope!

…still we are now in touch and will always remain in touch and

will share these memories which will be cherished in the

coming years. Karanveer

I will never forget all of this children! It's an incredible feeling when you know that you changed their lifes even a bit. When i remember the way how they were looking at me even now it gives me hope and inspiration...Guilherme

Nastya Dubchak, OCP of Children's Path:

“Now, when 1 month has passed since the project came to its end and my interns left I wouldn't say that "Children's Path" was a part of my life. I wouldn't say it because of one simple reason: the project was MY LIFE. My children, my OC, my interns - it is how I'll forever remember the winter 2011-2012. I think I wasn't able to express my feelings before and I think I didn't tell my interns that I love them. And I'm right now listening to Pink's song "...I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me". Well, I know, this song is about love and relationship and so on. But what I want to say is that I forgot to say out loud how important you are to me, and that you are heroes in a very special way, and that you changed me and you changed hundreds of people you met here, in Ukraine. Thank you, friends.”
