Decide to Lead

Some meetings stay in our memories forever, but some find a special place deep in our hearts. That is exactly how these seven days of our educational visit within the eTwinning youth mobility project DECIDE AND DRIVE_Lifeskill Jam and the May activity Decide to Lead will remain for us. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank our amazing German partners from the Gymnasium in Neumünster for their warmth, kindness, care, openness and for all the love and effort they put into organizing this unforgettable experience. For the eTwinner team MERRYBOX from Marganets Lyceum No. 10, this journey became much more than just an educational visit. We are coming home not only with new knowledge and ideas, but with emotions, inspiration, memories and people who became truly special to us during these days. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity and financial support that made it possible for four representatives of our team to take part in this mobility. For us, it means much more than a trip. It is about trust, support, friendship and the feeling that international cooperation can truly bring people together. A very special thank you goes to the wonderful colleagues, students and eTwinners of the Neumünster Gymnasium, as well as to the families who opened not only their homes but also their hearts to us. Because of you, these days felt warm, sincere and unforgettable. These days were filled with meaningful conversations, creativity and incredibly productive cooperation. Together we conducted interviews with project participants for the final guest video book, involved parents in joint activities, cooked traditional national dishes together, shared traditions, ideas and many happy moments side by side. We will also never forget our walks along the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, the beautiful streets and atmosphere of Neumünster, Kiel, Laboe, Hamburg and Büsum, the evening talks, the laughter and the feeling of friendship without borders. For the founder of the project and coordinator of the visit, Yana Tsykunkova, this mobility also became a wonderful opportunity to present the work of eTwinners not only from Marganets Lyceum No. 10, but from all of Ukraine to new friends and partners working with young people from Brazil and Denmark. It was also a great chance to build new professional connections with colleagues interested in future cooperation and international projects. We are returning home with deep gratitude. And the most valuable part of this journey for us is people, sincere connections, support and the feeling that even in difficult times the world is still held together by kindness, openness and humanity. Thank you for every day together, every smile, every conversation, every shared moment and for supporting Ukraine. These memories will stay with us for a very long time.
