TC The Power of Stories - Digital Storytelling for Youth Workers

We had an amazing opportunity to participate in the Erasmus+ project called The Power of Stories. It took place from April 13th to 21st in Puck, Poland. We focused on digitizing our stories.

It was our first Erasmus+ project, and it certainly surprised us. This emotionally short week left us with feelings and memories that I will often recall. We experienced getting to know new cultures and a world we hadn't seen before. The project's theme definitely brought us closer faster than we expected. We worked on producing our own film, but mainly on sharing life experiences. Such a theme can bring people together very quickly. And I am very glad that we chose this particular project.

The town of Puck is small but beautiful. It is truly a writer's paradise. We stayed by the Baltic Sea, and the daily views provided us with endless inspiration for our film. Nearby is also the historic Gothic building of the parish church of St. Apostles Peter and Paul, which we visited during a walk and were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the church.

Let's not forget the day in Hel where the wind always blows, but it didn't deter anyone. Also, the beautiful city of Gdansk where we spent a day exploring the old town, which is, by the way, unforgettable. I will definitely come back to see the historic buildings with their vibrant colors again.

The skills I learned there are important to me in my life as well. Working with people can be difficult, but this project showed me how to express my experiences in other ways.

It was our first Erasmus+ project, but based on our experiences, we would dare to recommend it to everyone. I certainly wouldn't be afraid of foreign languages or other cultures, because being in such an environment can enrich a person with many things. We want to thank the Youthfully Yours SK organization for providing us, as young students, with this opportunity and supporting us in everything. Thank you.
