Refletions from Participants

Reflections

The focus  of the project was practical and creative and we worked in teams to design sports, tools and games to relate to inclusion and education. We practiced and always improved them and I believe overall it was a success and I appreciate all the effort of the organization and the participants involved. Last but not least, I feel the need to point out the visit to the camp of refugees which was the key and the main aim of this project in my opinion.

This training course gave me the opportunity to realize how important it is to interact with people coming from different background and cultures. As with all our differences and experiences we gave each other different views of how we can understand certain situations and make things happen as a group.

This Training Course bring me many Emotions. I had the opportunity to meet 24 amazing people from different countries. They share with me they experience and knowledge. I liked the method and the techniques that I learned and for sure I will apply many of them in the future.

It was very interesting for me to learn about “Factor X” and Education by/for/trough Sport.

In my opinion, it is very interesting to create games or activities and later implement them. For this reason these kind of projects are different and very useful. The possibility to go out to practice sport has been a good choice. For me, it has been great time use because here I have learnt about the difficulty of managing a group. 

The staff in the project has been wonderful. Renos has shown a high capacity to learn and manage a group. He has demonstrated a high knowledge about the topic and he has been very flexible to adapt at the different situation in the project. Sandra is a very open mind person, it has been very easy to connect with her.

The subject for the training course was great (Sport Activities and Social Inclusion), and now I have other idea on how I can elaborate sports activities to become a society more inclusive. All the topics covered, such as, social inclusion and its 5 factors, the creating of new sports games, the discussion about the topics covered by world café and the visit to Refugee´s camp, changed my vision about our society, and in fact, sports have a big impact in such subject.

We improved our knowledge on thinking in an inclusive way on sports activities for a diverse population  and we had to create some activities about certain group of people.

We had the opportunity to apply our own ideas and activities on different environments such as refugee’s center, outdoor and indoor courts.

I enjoyed the intercultural nights as I had the chance to meet different cultures and taste new flavors.

The hospitality was very nice in any occasion which made us feel comfortable.  

 For me, topics related to social inclusion through sports or other means are very attractive and I would like to continue learning more at this domain.

There is a lot of people that I never forget it! Thanks to this project I learnt so many things about the sport and the role like inclusion for the society, now I see the sport in a different way, the sport Is also education and the competition is not necessary for us, sport unit us and it becomes us more unified with the sport you can share your fears your responsibility and also your cultures! In a world cafe we discuss about the stories and the problems that there are in our society for example the story of the African league in Vienna and the role of the law and the international relationship bit me a lot for who I will be in my future, because studying law I want became a international lawyer

First of all I would like to say a big thank you to NECI for the opportunity to participate in this training course. The quality of the training was high and it was a great experience full of emotions, knowledge, new friends, and explosion of ideas, creativity, team working and sports. Generally, I liked the methods and the techniques that have been used during the sessions. The most challenging task of this training was to create new games and sports through team work aiming for socially excluded people to be taken under consideration and be introduced in all of these.
Even if I consider myself very socially oriented person, there is always the potential for learning new things and I believe that this training course expanded more my knowledge about social inclusion and current issues of the world.

Big like for what Neci is doing, big like for the structure of the activities and for the involvement of the organizers. I tried my best to make the things better, to help the team and i hope the final result will be appreciated also by more objectively entities.  

The most special moment for me was the half day spent in the refugee center. There i met some people, i listen their stories, i observed their life, their opportunities and i realized one more time in my life that the world is so so different from what we have daily.
