Storify Yourself! Outside the Shell

We met all the participants in Sofia, and after about four hours on the bus, we were in the mountains. The organizer took us on nature trips, and we also had the opportunity to visit a local thermal spring. As a person who completed several pieces of training within the Erasmus program, I must say that this one was the best organized, and I will recommend our main facilitator and his organization Via Civic, to my friends. During our stay, two psychologists also worked with us, who were at our disposal, and organized workshops on personal development and self-confidence development.

The entire training was built in such a way that it resulted in a conclusion that was a kind of simulation of our own TED talk.

On the last day, each participant was given 5 minutes to express their story and convey some deeper message or lesson to others.

The host and the home organization were fully at our disposal 24/7; fortunately, there were no urgent problems that needed to be solved. We were provided with the best and traditionally generous Slavic hospitality.

I take home with me less fear of speaking in front of people, stronger self-confidence, healthier condition, and especially time spent with like-minded people who can always give you a new and better perspective on life.
