Project Shape, that took place between 21st of August and 17th of September, had a huge success inside the teenagers. The highschool students participated everyday with interest at those sessions, and there was with them international students, and strong friendships were formed.
They said that they had learned a lot about the origin country of the international students. Each one of them took interest in the Global Problems, and they continued to get involved even after the project ended.

For me the Discover Project was something novel. Every time, new students from different cultures were coming to interact with our students. The participants not only develop their ability to communicate in English but also share with their culture and traditions. I always encouraged my class and my own child to participate in this project, this being an extracurricular activity with huge impact.
It’s awesome to practice your English knowledge in an interactive way, without the fear of homework and grades.

My responsibility was to help children and teenagers find themselves and explore the world but doing that I actually found myself and explored the world - in terms of knowledge, discussions, attitudes...
The kids taught me that happiness is a way of life not a destination.
The teenagers taught me that when you have a dream you will do everything to achieve it (and have fun in the meantime).
