Project progress:

In the picturesque mountains, 21 representatives of different nationalities had the pleasure of participating in a 9-day training course.

The project focused on conflict resolution. The classes were conducted by Nicola, a psychotherapist from Bulgaria, who presented us with various psychological tools that help us understand the basics of conflict and help us resolve it. The storytelling classes were led by Gafar from Singapore. Storytelling, as the name suggests, is the telling of stories that can be used in conflict resolution. Gafar revealed to us the secrets of creating stories, which we found useful when creating the story that concluded our program.

Every day, there were substantive, very intensive classes that lasted until late at night. During the course, one day was devoted to independent hiking in the mountains and sleeping under the open sky in order to understand ourselves and our own needs. Atanas, the last of our three instructors, kept watch and was there when needed while we slept alone in the mountains.
