The best experience

Hello people from around the world!! I would like to share with you one on the best experiences that I ever had! A few weeks ago I started a connect program called “Soliya”. Some of you might know it and some don’t. I am going to share with you my experience and if you are interested maybe, you can join the program as well.?

The first meeting was absolutely one success. I joined an online group with 15 people from different countries, with different cultures. What we did? We tried to discover ourselves and to find out the secrets of other cultures. We implemented like a mini game where we could share 3 important things from our lives. Some of the people chose to share their favourite food, some of them their favourite place that they visited, and one of them chose to share with us what he doesn’t like. Was surprising to see that someone thought of sharing also negative impacts of his life. At one point I realised that you could describe yourselves also through “sad/bad” feelings/activities.

In the second meeting we had to choose 1 topic for our first interview. We discussed, and we agreed that the most important topic we mentioned was “Global warming”. After I have done my interviews, I realised how different is the way of thinking of every person. Moreover, I analysed their answers, and I was surprised to see that both of my interviewees had the same ideas, but they expressed themselves with different words.?

What I learned and how I succeed from this program you might ask. Well, is very easy.?

The Connect Program taught me a lot of new skills. I learned how to express myself without being shy, how to speak with people but the most important thing, it showed me how many different cultures and how many kinds of people exist in this world. In this period, we had a lot of fun, we discussed a lot of topics, but we also had some problems, but as it says, after the storm the rainbow appears, this was also our case. For example, we had a few moments when no one was talking or answering the questions. I think this happened because we were to shy, or we were thinking that our answers are not good enough. We passed these moments easily but of course with our facilitator’s help.
