Project progress:

During the exchange, we focused on developing new methods of coping with stress. We had the opportunity to participate in workshops on emotion management, during which we learned various ways to relieve tension, such as breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation exercises. The workshops allowed us not only to develop our creativity, but also to find new ways to express and combat stress. We also participated in unique art classes, where we painted our comfort places on stones – places that give us a sense of peace and security. We also took part in a field game that required cooperation and cleverness. It was a great opportunity for integration, but at the same time it allowed us to discover the picturesque corners of Pissouri. At the end of the project, we organized an exhibition of our works created during the exchange. It was the perfect summary of an intense week and a unique opportunity to share the results of our work with the local community. The time spent in Cyprus was an unforgettable experience, during which we gained many valuable experiences, new friendships, and inspiration that will stay with us for a long time.

The project is financed by the European Union.
