Review Outreach Elbasan & Creative Group
We have all adjusted back to daily life in Switzerland. But the impressions from Albania remain. I realize once again how privileged we are and how grateful I am to live in Switzerland.
There were days during my school years when I didn’t want to go to school. But today, I am incredibly grateful to have such easy access to education and to be able to complete a wonderful training. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many people.
In Elbasan, we were warmly welcomed, and the gratitude for our efforts was evident every day. Rarely have I seen such motivated, curious, and respectful children. I showed them how to design with a marketing focus, and the children created amazing posters, photos, logos, and videos. I am very proud of the work process and results. Providing this course to the children was an absolute highlight for me.
I had so many great moments this week that I don't even know where to start. I was surrounded by loving people and had great, educational conversations. During breaks, the children taught me how to dance in Albanian style. By the end of the week, I was often told that I am a wonderful teacher and was asked when I would return. There were many compliments and heartwarming moments. But, like all the good things, there were also many touching moments that made me a bit sad.
I look back on this experience with gratitude, and I look forward to continuing to teach the children online. I am sure there will be a reunion.
