Day 1 impressions
So, glad to tell everyone: Fist session of Recrear Apply is finished and it was very fascinating! It sounds like some usual thing – first day of one of the conference in KHTI. But for organizers and participations it means that something very important happened in Kazan! We were there and we are new people […]

“I want to thank you once again for organizing such wonderful event. I really missed help of competent people concerning the questions of enrollment before. Until today i had to collect fragmentary information from people who have studied or study now. Gathering of this information always took time and sometimes has not been objective.” Golitsyna […]
RecrearApply Kazan starts!
It looked like nothing special was happening – just another winter morning in Kazan, when I had to wake up 7 a.m. to go to work. Everything as usual: running late and no time for breakfast, driving on ice and searching for a parking spot in downtown. Only I knew it was a special day. […]
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. […]
Late night brainstorming
It is 3.40 am and we just turned the lights off. As for every incredible day, this morning seems a lifetime away. I am trying to use this blog entry to recollect my thoughts, which feel all colorful and chaotic (a perfectly Bangladeshi mind space). Retelling the day in a few lines would turn into […]
A tale of two organizational stories
There is something quite inspiring about meeting someone who has at one point walked in your shoes. It is remarkable not for the fact that you have done the same thing but rather that you have faced the same challenges. So you can imagine how excited I was to connect with YPSA an organization whose […]
The royal Bangladeshi welcome
No red carpets or trumpets but rather a room full of 30 Bangladeshis aged 18-25 eagerly waiting our arrival. This to me the best reception of all because even after arriving an hour and a half late (train delay from Dhaka to Chittagong don’t you know), we were still warmly received with sweet smiles. Without […]
