Let me tell you a story - Whisper of exile

1. Why did you join project with your group 2. What do you think about idea of 'living history lesson' method 3. You were participant of 'Let me tell you a story II'. How you would advertise such project for young people who did not participate in previous parts? As “See Why” , one of the main aims we have as a group is the promotion of peaceful coexistence on a local, European and global levels. Every month we organize local educational events on this topic. We are hoping that through our participation in similar projects, we will gain useful knowledge and skills that will help us in our future activities and at the same time we will show other participants and partner organizations some good practices that we have already been using in Cyprus. We are collaborating with the founder of HEureka Generator, Andrzej Smyk and other partner organizations for a long time now and we have very good communication between us. Each one of us  have also participat

Introduce yourself  My name is Oskar Nowakowski and I am part of HEureka Generator team. I am a teenager and a student in high school where my mainly interested in history. I am studying history during most of my free time, but it isn't something that I am forced to do. I just like it. Why do you like history ?  I don't really know. It's as simple as that. Sometimes I just think about myself that I've been born in the wrong century  and that's why I always wanted to know how the world looked like in the past. It's simply my hobby and a way of improving myself by comparing me to my ancestors and learn from their mistakes. What do you expect from this youth exchange?  I will have an opportunity to learn something new. Maybe something I didn't know and that's my main goal for this youth exchange. I  always want to be more aware of things which happened to all these  people who got deported to Siberia. What are your ideas to advertise our publica

I am 18 years old, and this is my last year in high school. I am exactly before the last exams. This is the period, when people should think what they would like to do with their life, for the first time. I always knew, that I would like to work with people, and somehow help, in making this World a better place. Of course it sounds naive, because most of the people start their life like this and then end up as a shop assistant in a food store, but if we look it thoroughly they do help, everyone need food. I would like to protect people, not individuals more like groups of people with negative discrimination. I believe we are equal. We born as equal person, and then what we do with our own life is our business but we should remain equal in every situation. This could b

Aim of this blog is to present common work of young Europeans in frames of youth project ‘Let me tell you a story III – Whisper of exile’. We have established partnership which consists five European organizations: Poland (HEureka Generator – Zamość), Czech Republic (Brno For You – Brno), Hungary (Co-efficient – Budapest), Romania (Evolution – Resita), Cyprus (See Why).   In previous parts of the project we have discussed topic of concentration camps prisoners during WWII and life of Polish partisans during WWII. We have made interviews with witnesses of that time and published their stories.  With the Project ‘Let me tell you a story - Whisper of exile’ we want to discuss issue of Europeans who were exiled to Siberia during and after the WWII. Lubelskie region of Poland still have living witnesses of that times who are able to share their stories with next generations. We will work with proven non formal education methods, advertise and disseminate results.
