I really did enjoy many aspects of the week, with so many cultures mingled on a single project, the contributions they made to my current viewpoint are priceless because everyone brought something unique to the table. Apart from getting to know other cultures, funnily enough this project also gave me the chance to explore our own since we were there to represent our nation and for the first time in ages I felt oddly proud of our little Slovak world. I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity, however I do have a few queries with regards to organization.
I was a little bit disappointed in the general organizational aspect of the project. Schedules weren’t always followed, things got a bit chaotic at times and ‘getting to know each other’ activities took place with a delay of several days. We were also informed we would be sleeping in a school when in fact we were sleeping right above a karaoke bar, which left me understandably taken back.
I participated in the project in hope of exploring the opinions and perspectives of people from various backgrounds and although we did enjoy some discussion activities I would have appreciated a little more fruitful debate.
Finally, after the project there has been a little mishap with regards to communication, I’m still waiting for a response and find this approach a little disappointing when I take into account the pressure which was put on me to effectively communicate and deliver on time. However that is not to say the organizers weren’t extremely lovely and kind.
