The fact that the participants of the program were inspired by common issues formed the basis for us to become a community from the first day. It was very valuable to exchange ideas with this diverse group, which consisted of different ages and fields.

Here, I witnessed the magic of ''circles'' again. I felt safe and was able to comfortably share my feelings and thoughts in the face of the problems experienced in the world and in our country. I left the camp with my hope that we can change something together, taking root and growing.
