WWB

World without borders - project

is an alternative education for high-

school students that will help pupils to

develop their soft-skills. WWB aims to

break stereotypes of high-school

students about other countries, share

with them traditions and culture of

different nations, develop culture

tolerance.

On 23rd of January the 2nd wave of the World Without Borders project

started…

So what about the second wave?

-We asked OCP, Sasha Sikorska:

- What was the main idea of the 2nd WWB? -The main idea of the project was that foreign volunteers were

delivering trainings for Ukrainian school students on the

leadership, project management, time management topics,

discussions on cultural and social topics.

-Who participaed? -Eight schools have taken part in the project, i.e. #296, 28, 128,

gymnasium “Erudit”, “Vsesvit”, “Scandinavian gymnasium”,

“European college” and Boryspil gymnasium “Perspectiva”. In

general, about 250 students were listening to trainings from

volunteers. The trainers for the project came from all the parts of the world. And they are: curly Sera

from Turkey, dancing Caio from Brasil, smily Kivanc from Turkey, childish Andrej from Slovakia,

David that solves Sudoku from Brasil, Indah – a girl with a Chinese blood, born in Indonesia and

lives in Australia, Bingxi that came here just for two weeks but for great changes from China, curios

Min from Malaysia and probably the kindest person in the world – Ahmed from Egypt. The project

lasted for 6 weeks and every single day of these 6 weeks were amazing, changeable, unforgettable for

organizational committee and interns as well as for students.

-Was it worth it?) -As for now the project is over and the interns have left home. But thanks to interns, the students,

that have taken part in the project, learnt a lot, opened new cultures and traditions, made new

friends. The best thank for me, as an organizational committee president, were the following words

from Valeria, 9th grade student, school #296: “As it is said, THIS IS IT! Tomorrow is the first day

without our interns( but we really want it to last forever. How everything started! Nervous teachers,

our trembling hands and smiles to the ears. It was really cool!”

-How was it to be an OCP of this project?

-In the end I would love to say that being the OCP is really hard, sometimes it just exhausts you.

BUT, exactly this experience, when you are responsible not only for realization of the project but,

what is even more important, for the people (interns, OC of the project, students) makes a person

braver and teaches the life. So don’t be afraid of changes, organize, create and everything will be

amazing and unforgettable!

Children's Path is an

educational and entertainment project for

children from orphanages.The project was

conducted by five interns - Kostantinos

(Greese), Karanveer (India), Prinka

(Indonesia), Ivan (Serbia), Guilherme

(Brasil), Su (South Korea) during

December-January. Each lesson they made together with the children

virtual trips around Ukraine. While "travelling" they played exciting

games, developed their communicative skills and made their first steps in

learning English. "Children's Path" is a project that gives joy and

motivation to those who really need it. It's all about love, it's all about

friendship, it' s all about hope!

…still we are now in

touch and will always

remain in touch and

will share these

memories which will

be cherished in the

coming years.

Karanveer

I will never forget all of

this children! It's an

incredible feeling when you

know that you changed

their lifes even a bit. When

i remember the way how

they were looking at me

even now it gives me hope

and

inspiration...Guilherme

Nastya Dubchak, OCP of Children's Path:

“Now, when 1 month has passed since the project came to its end and my interns left I

wouldn't say that "Children's Path" was a part of

my life. I wouldn't say it because of one simple

reason: the project was MY LIFE. My children,

my OC, my interns - it is how I'll forever

remember the winter 2011-2012.

I think I wasn't able to express my feelings before

and I think I didn't tell my interns that I love

them. And I'm right now listening to Pink's song

"...I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you

really are to me". Well, I know, this song is about

love and relationship and so on. But what I want

to say is that I forgot to say out loud how

important you are to me, and that you are heroes

in a very special way, and that you changed me

and you changed hundreds of people you met

here, in Ukraine. Thank you, friends.”
