City was amazing, really beautiful, with everything we needed. I don`t have anything to complain about. We usually needed many buses to get somewhere but that also wasn`t a problem. We also had public transportation to beaches, so we could have daytrips on a free day. Our group was just simply amazing. Everyone was open to work, for new ideas and we didn`t have any problems. They are the best people ever, I will miss them forever and I hope to see them again soon.

I was mostly focused on a dancing part. My achievements are in general going back to dance, collaborating with other people, leading some choreographys and making them fully. My part was dancing in the nature, so I also learned how

to connect my body with the nature, to get fully aware about my body and movements and how important it is to be in a state of clear mind and to be mindful. I also helped in Christmas choreographys and in that event in general, as well as in a school workshops and performances and other activities that we all did ( animal shelter, plays for kids, photography…). I think I learned a lot of new things, improved my leading skills and working in a big group, got back my passion for dancing, learned how to solve problems really fast and how to combine many different ideas in one big amazing thing. This project helped me a lot and I definitely developed as a person and I would be forever grateful for this experience.

I hope that many other people will have an opportunity to experience this, that our work will help in solving the current problem in the city and that we successfully spread awareness about it.

Thank you everyone for this opportunity, I will  never forget it and i`m endlessly grateful for it.
