Business Pioneers: Let's remind this amazing project one more time after a while

Hii. Let's remind this amazing project one more time after a while. "Business Pioneers" was a very valuable project which was carried out in 17 - 27 February 2022 in Costinesti, Romania. The main goal of the project was informing us about the business world although we learnt so much more than that, both socially and intellectually. We were group of young people who came from 6 different countries from different sides of Europe. We were all here for learning lots of thing and enjoying the event.

Firstly, we met in a common point in Bucharest and we moved to Costinesti all together. Our first activities are energizers, ice-breakers and meeting with each other. We talked about our expectations, fears. We turned back and looked our past expectations and fears as time goes if they came true. Most of our expectations came true about the project and our most fears were already just funny ones. As time progresses, we focused more on the project topic business life. Even though some of us were highly experienced and some of us were uninformed about this topic, all of us shared something in the activities. With the help of non-formal education, we easily became warmer to the topic and learnt so much information in very limited time. We prepared creative works such as short theatres, websites, logos, posters. Most importantly, we created an idea about our future fictitious bussiness plan.

Other than all the activites that we did in the project, we didn't forget to have lots of fun. In the cultural nights, we tasted all sorts of spesific flavors, musics, informations, games, dances. We travelled beautiful sights of Costanta. Our parties were so funny. And the food in the hotel were amazing and very diversified. The cleaning of the room and all accomodation was very good on our sweet hotel.

And we had our warm hearted facilitators Ioana Așka and Adrian Oprică. I thank them a lot for preparing this amazing project and enjoying with us. Also thank you Tanase Robert for causing this project to be real. Our sending organization Gaziantep Local Youth Group and our hosting organization Initiative Sociale has very special place for us for organizing this opportunity.

I had very warm friendships with all people in the group because of this project. I hope we will be able to meet in other beautiful projects like this in the future.
