We came here as volunteers to teach you our skills, mentor
and motivate you to finish the programme. In the International Award words: we
are going to be leaders and instructors. Some of you have probably met us in
the leadering-meetings and hopefully many of you are going to meet us in
different classes. We teach you our languages and skills, for example: Turkish,
graphic design, Kurdish dances, Spanish, photography, Italian, basketball.
We are far from being professional teachers, but I’m sure
that’s not a bad thing. We came here to Romania just for the programme and we
are very motivated and excited to share our knowledge with you. Moreover,
International Award is about mutual learning: we teach you and you teach us.
Maybe without even realizing it. We start our classes mostly in English, but
who knows, maybe in May we’ll be able to do it in Romanian. Also, maybe in May
you will be dancing Kurdish dances or the shy girl who loves reading will be
the best in debating or the football fan the best in creative writing?
It’s all about you, about your will and motivation and we
and other leaders are here to help you find the strength in you. Why not come
out of your comfort zone and try something you have never tried before?
We are doing it: we left our home countries to come to
Romania, which we didn’t know much about, to teach. I’m sure only one year ago
most of us would have never imagined doing anything like this, but here we are,
and very happy about it! We can not wait to finally start the programme,
hopefully you have the same feelings!
