Autumn leaves battles
On the 27th of October in Kharkiv the campleaders of SVIT met to evaluate this projects which took place in August-September 2007
It started off with the campleaders telling about their camps: what was working, how was the work, group life, communication and what needed to be improved. We also evaluated preparation of camps and campleaders. Afterwards we discussed together if we want to continue the same projects next year and what improvements and changes that needs to be done. We also started to think about new possible topics for workcamps for the summer of 2008 and agreed to make a public call for new partners interested to host workcamps. Some creative work was required before the lunch break – to make a written presentation of the projects. We had lunch on the veranda full of bright autumn sun and golden leaves surrounding us – enjoying last nice autumn days. The evening brought some battle with leaves too.

A nice café in the Armenian street of Lviv – all of our volunteers are sitting around a table, sipping at their excellent coffees or hot chocolates, listening attentively to a young man from Lviv, whom we want to tell us something about new (Western) Ukrainian history. Weather is fine, atmosphere relaxed, translator and camp leader Galya ready for translating our expert’s Ukrainian words into English. Nice guy, by look the kind of alternative people you expect to be interested in history and its critical analysis. Russian against Polish-Latvian Empire, Hetman, Bohdan Chelmnizkij, Cossacks fly past our eyes.

Within the framework of the long-term project „Youth Transcending New Frontiers“ (YTNF, see: www.ytnf.org/) this training session aimed at providing volunteers of the „Dobre Razom“-project with basic knowledge on the issues of racism and xenophobia and to prepare them for the elaboration of educational activities in the respective fields with youth/students to be delivered in the first two weeks of September 2007 in the western (Lviv) and Eastern (Kharkiv) part of Ukraine.
The session was supposed to be a kick-off for a group of 15 volunteers from all over Europe and the U.S.A. that would split shortly after the session to implement their activities in the one or the other city.
