Dare to Act – training course

Dare to Act

After two years of the pandemic, the Dare to Act training course was finally held. The training took place in the capital of Bulgaria - Sofia. The weather was sunny and our three-member team enjoyed this project to the last minute.

During the 5 days of the training, we continuously worked on methods that could prevent bullying and aggression in schools. This project was a great challenge, especially in terms of mental strain. Not only us, but also our colleagues from Greece, Italy, Hungary, Latvia, and Romania, discussed topics such as emotions, drama, masculinity, and physical or mental bullying daily.

In addition to gaining important information for our future work with teenagers, we had the opportunity to discover Sofia. This city has its charm and several cultures intertwine within it. Thanks to the tour guide provided by the organizer, we had the opportunity to see not only the main sights but also hidden corners. The food, and especially the ice cream, delighted us during the evenings when we enjoyed walks and released all the emotions we had accumulated during the day. On the last evening, Ali and Raya - our facilitators - took us to a traditional Bulgarian dinner, which inevitably included music. This was an excellent conclusion to an amazing project that we had the opportunity to be a part of.
