Welcome Aboard Yakup!

Hello, my name is Yakup, I'm coming from TURKEY/TRABZON. I graduated from Cukurova University with a speciality in Mechanical Engineer.

I'm emotional, my direction information is poor, and I can think differently from other people.

I came here to ICDET for 8 weeks as a volunteer under the Europan Solidarity Corps project.

I decide to come here because I wanted to go abroad, develop my language, meet new foreign people and travel.

In the next few months, I will focus on developing my language, meeting lots of people, helping friends and having fun.

Welcome Aboard Berk!

Hello, my name is Berk and I`m coming from Mugla, Turkey. I'm a student at Mugla University.

3 interesting things about me are that I learn fast, I can understand people without talking, and I want to travel the world.

I came here to ICDET for 2 months as an ESC volunteer

I decide to come here because I did not want to miss the opportunity to develop myself abroad. I knew that studying in a different country enriches intercultural dialogue, increases self-confidence and contributes to personal development. That's why I came here and I'm very happy to participate in the project. I am excited to see what the process I spent here has contributed to me in the future.

In the coming months, I will focus on the main objectives of the project and gain knowledge by researching education, language and intercultural communication. I will strive for the success of the project by planning new projects and events.

Weekly diary #49 by Sule

After our Monday morning meeting, Burcu, Hale and I created our EmployeE+ Media materials plan. Then, after a busy week for all of us, we wanted to rest a little this Monday as a team and we had a movie night together by hanging out at home.

There was a development this week and everyone started Bulgarian lessons in the evening. Esra and I created a Teamizing & Cafe Plan and listed the socializing areas we can go to as a team. Also, I closed the google form we prepared for our project and wrote a research article for it.

Now it's time for the best part. Burcu, Hale and Eren went on a trip to see different cultures abroad. They travelled to 3 new countries. These are Slovakia, Hungary and Austria.

While they were exploring abroad, Esra, Kubilay and I learned that 8 December is the Students' Day in Sofia and we decided to visit Sofia today. Frankly, we did not come across any special celebrations while we were visiting, but we walked around the streets decorated for New Year's Eve, visited the stands and took lots of photos.
