Hello, I’m Diana Panochyshena and now I am finishing my volunteering project in Ankara in System And Generation. I’m 18 years old and at this moment I’m continuing education in Ukrainian Academy like philologist despite the war.

My volunteering started on July 14 in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. This is my first experience as a volunteer abroad, so all the activities were new for me and I started each one volunteering task with enjoyment. Volunteering is the on of the most important things in our life.

The main task of our project is to make life better. For this, we prepare workshops, conversational clubs, conversational courses, vlogs and podcasts for various social and environmental topic for local people. The best experience of volunteering can be called communication with new people. This is really a very important aspect, because you learn about other cultures, worldviews, people and life. I’m really happy to have this opportunity to change something in my life and make something useful for our planet.

Hello! My name is Alyona (Alona, Alyonka, Aliona — there is so much space for variety) and I`m from Ukraine. I`m 20 years old and I`m on my 4th year in University, where I study sociology. But my heart belongs to teaching, so now I`m creating a course of Ukrainian literature for school students, who are abroad and don`t have quality
education of mother language and literature.

I really want to explore Turkish culture and language and, also, bring
something new from myself to volunteers` and locals` lives.

Hello everyone :)

My name is Rita and I’m a 24-year old Portuguese girl. I am originally from Porto, in the north of Portugal, but I’ve always wanted to live abroad and to embark in international experiences - something I’ve been doing since I finished my bachelor’s degree in Languages and International Relations.

I am really interested in Turkish culture and language and I can’t wait to learn more about this beautiful country.
