I think that travel makes human more flexible, open-minded and richer inside. That is the reason why I try to not miss the opportunities to travel somewhere. One of the opportunity I heard was Erasmus+ project and, of course, I took it. Thus it all began…
Before 3 weeks I with 7 other Lithuanians were participating in Erasmus+ project “11 Techniques For 11 Emergency Situations”. We had spent 8 days in Aksaray – beautiful city of Turkey. When we come here we met other project members from Bulgaria and Turkey, actually, in those days we have become one big family. Every day we had lectures and some practical exercises in groups. Some of exercises were developed for learn how to think creatively in extreme situations, like how to help and what materials to use if you do not have any first-aid supplies. Others – a concrete and clear for real-life situation, how to prepare for it, like how to do external cardiac massage or how to help a person who choking and so on. Definitely, we had free time, during which we visited the city centre, the mosque, several museums and nearby mountains – that helped to feel better Turkish culture everywhere. All of free time we spent together, were talking about the cultural differences and similarities or sometimes we began to discuss about some topic which doctor Andrei told in the morning. Towards the end of the project imperceptibly we started to talk about the fact that would be good to meet again. Maybe it will be, who knows…
If it is not enough of what I said already, I can add something else, what I got from this project. Knowledge and experience, which received, I can share with other people, it allows to know them more about first aid. This sharing process becoming miracle automatically because more people with knowledge means more chances to help and save the lives. Another thing is that – after the project I had many thoughts about the importance of first aid and linked it with my studies. Now I had started to do artistic project about first aid importance. Finally, the best thing I got from here is the unforgettable people which (hopefully) I will meet again more than once time!
So, do you want to be a rich? Have no any doubts about trips! 😉
