Intercultural experience

It is only the third day of RecrearApply, but I feel I have known our project participants for ages. It’s amazing also because new people keep coming in. That is encouraging, but also challenging: can we actually meet all their expectations? Since they do have such different interests! We have had participants majoring in geology, […]

Recrear is not a joke

After a week of sharing Recrear’s vision, projects and internal organization with the management of YPSA, I am reminded forcefully that Recrear is not a joke. YPSA’s organizational history is packed with lessons for us. This middle size NGO recently celebrated its 26th birthday. Impressively, today YPSA manages over 2000 workers and receives funding from a range of national […]

Updates and Holiday Wishes

Hello again everyone, So we have now complete our first two days of Apply!Kazan and are working on material for day three now. The group we presented the introductory presentation to was small, only four in attendance, which is not at all disappointing, but I guess the hope is always that you will get a […]

RecrearApply Kazan starts!

ode to the discourse, the people, and the inspiration

Ok folks, time for me to go on a rant. I can’t promise I will follow one line of thought but bare with me. I sit now in our empty workshop room with flip charts scattered a little all over, some colourful post-its piled in a mess and one intimidating to do list gleaning on […]

From Russia, With Love!

Hello Everyone! This is an exciting day as this evening will be the first session for Apply!Kazan, however, there is a very pressing issue to cover first. It is still surreal that I am sitting in Sasha’s appartment in Kazan, partially because the last three days of travel have taken me half way around the […]

Youth that are breaking the mold

I have to say it has been quite a privilege to be inBangladeshduring their victory day. I feel that I have been lucky enough to glimpse brilliantly colourful moments in their culture. Whether it was an art exhibition, a cultural dance performance or song – I was touched by the deep sense of national pride. […]
