SMIT Creator in Turkey

As SMIT CREATOR’s Polish Team Leader I had an opportunity to take part in the project „All Together” held in Havran, Turkey.

The purpose of the project was to work with children with disabilities in order to support their full integration into society. The activities included playing with young disabled and helping them with their lessons. The main objective of the project was to find a workplace where a disabled young person could work as an intern. The project was successful and the children’s smiles are the best proof of this success. Our team consisted of people from 5 countries: Turkey, Poland, Lithuania, Spain and Bulgaria whose teamwork was seamless.

The experience was made even more enriching by the significant differences between our cultures. I remember Turkey as a beautiful and interesting country with very hospitable people. I recommend participating in similar projects.
