Whenever someone asks me, what are your interests?
First thing that comes into my mind is always "Travel". For me, traveling is something more than exploring, more than adventure, more than learning. At times, i try to find the things i love then again comes the thought of the people, of the differences and similarities between cultures and languages, i miss the interaction with them. It reminds me of the unique qualities every one got.
I would like to share my experience from "United Nations Alliance of Civilization-Education First", Tarrytown New York USA 2013.
It was probably the best time, the best experience of my life. Yes till now i do have an answer, if someone asks for my best traveling experience. I would love to name "UNAOC-EF" summer school. Youth Participants from almost 100 countries were invited in order to share their personal and professional experience, I had the chance to interact with almost all of them. The only word for those people i have is "Amazing". Such awesome people from all parts of the world for a common purpose; sharing cultural experience, sharing love and peace.
We were busy in different workshops, training, activities based learning, panel discussions, group based assignments and the most important of all "group discussions" at the end of the day. Our group-7 members used to sit at the end for almost 45 minutes and share the whole day view about the activities and learning experiences. I may sound selfish but my group was the best of all groups from UNAOC-EF. One of the most memorable picture.
This whole summer-school program was a week based program at Tarrytown New York, so at the end we got our graduation certificates from Higher Authority of United Nations, an another memorable picture from the closing ceremony.
I will be sharing more blogs from this amazing experience, more about the participants.
