During Project Friendship us 10 volunteers, stayed in International Youth Center Villa Elba and worked in Kokkola and surrounding villages in schools with the theme “friendship” . Us volunteers created various workshops for kids to learnd how to create and maintain a friendship as well as the qualities of a good friend. Our main aim was preventing loneliness by teaching children while they were playing and having fun. While we were working on creating workshops, we learned how to engage in a community and help overcome inconviniences . The tasks that we had helped us develop new and improve the competences that we already had. This project showed us, we are more capable than we assume ourselves to be. Under the favor of this project we grew a lot as people who are aware of their environment and respectful towards the others. Working as a team was precious.
