A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Nature and Cultural Exchange.
From June 7th to 17th, in the city of Scalea, Italy, an Erasmus+ program focused on self-discovery, connection with nature, and personal development took place. Participants from Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, and Italy came together to experience various activities in nature and explore themselves through different challenges.
Read about Maria Ghukasyan‘s experience :
“This experience was unique for us by becoming an opportunity to see the nature through different more mindful lense. It became a platform to reconnect with the basic truth and the sophisticated but pure art of nature, to be a part of creative process and to weave the wonder we tend to ignore on daily basis into something really appreciated through land art and our own footprint in the creative environment that belongs to each culture separately and to every culture collectively.
Reflecting on the program, I would like to mention that it helped us express our creativity and culture through sharing perspectives in safe and constructive environment. Activities made us explore each culture’s perception of nature and come up with a certain universal understanding.
And most notably, it wasn’t just about seeing aesthetic value in famous locations, but about noticing the simple wonders nature offers us and respect the spirit of every moment that comes to pass through the everlasting grandiosity of life in its every form.”
