Dobre Razom Impressions

Of Anna Novgorodova

The attitude of Ukrainian people towards foreigners really impressed our volunteers, because people are very curious about strangers and are friendly too. So local people treat foreigners as special people, try to make them feel comfortable. Sometimes they are even too pushy.

What was great about Dobre razom workcamp itself is working with children. This really made a huge impact on me and on the volunteers. It’s an important experience and I suppose everyone should try it at least once in a lifetime, to see how it feels =)

Plus, just seeing a country different from your own in so many ways was a great experience. Seeing something extraordinary (when is extraordinary it’s something you don’t see every day) can make an interesting impact on your life prospective, too see it from outside in a way.

THE END

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. Details...

By Jasmin Soehner 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. Details...
