CREACTION

Project

Overview

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and advocates for positive change,

I stand before you today, fueled with passion and inspiration, as I recount an incredible journey that unfolded in the beautiful landscapes of Cyprus in October. Our team embarked on a transformative project named CREACTION, a venture that transcended boundaries, focused on a cause that resonates deeply with the essence of humanity – anti-bullying.

During those nine profound days, we immersed ourselves in a tapestry of activities and shared experiences that expanded our understanding of the pervasive issue of bullying. CREACTION became more than just a project; it evolved into a collective awakening, a call to action that reverberated within our hearts.

Georgian team has also made a video to look back to our amazing memories

The core of our mission extended beyond personal growth. We were committed to igniting change at the grassroots level. As part of our follow-up initiative, we directed our efforts towards the most precious minds – little children. Our goal was to instill in them the knowledge and resilience needed to combat bullying. Through engaging sessions, we delved into the intricacies of different types of bullying, empowering these young minds with the tools to recognize, prevent, and counteract these behaviors in their everyday lives.

Capturing the essence of our journey, we documented our experiences in a captivating video, now available for all on YouTube. This visual chronicle not only encapsulates the vibrancy of our activities but also unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Cyprus. The stunning scenery serves as a poignant metaphor – a testament to the beauty that can emerge when individuals unite against the darkness of bullying.

But our commitment did not end with the project's conclusion. To ensure continuous improvement and personal growth, each member of our Georgia team diligently provided feedback. This introspective process allowed us to refine our strategies, enhance our collaborative efforts, and cultivate a deeper understanding of our roles in the fight against bullying.

Your paragraph textimpactful follow-up initiatives that unfolded after our participation in the CREACTION project in Cyprus this past October. The project, centered around anti-bullying, not only educated us profoundly but also ignited a fervent desire to extend our reach and make a lasting difference, particularly in the lives of young children.

In the wake of our transformative experience, we directed our focus towards the next generation, recognizing the pivotal role they play in shaping a compassionate and understanding society. The follow-up initiative was crafted with the intention of educating and empowering little children about the nuances of bullying, its various forms, and, most importantly, how they can actively contribute to preventing it.

Our dedicated team, hailing from Georgia, embarked on a mission to conduct informative sessions tailored for young minds. These sessions delved into the intricacies of bullying, fostering an environment where children could openly discuss and comprehend the impact of such behaviors. Through interactive activities and age-appropriate discussions, we aimed to equip them with the knowledge and tools needed to identify, prevent, and respond to bullying

situations in their daily lives.

Our commitment to fostering change extended beyond mere education. We encouraged these young individuals to become ambassadors of kindness and empathy in their communities. By instilling the values of respect, inclusivity, and support, we aimed to create a ripple effect that transcends the confines of the classroom, permeating into homes, playgrounds, and every corner of their lives.

In addition to these efforts, we took to the digital realm by creating a captivating video documenting our nine-day journey. This video, accessible on YouTube, serves as a testament to the beauty that emerged from our collective commitment against bullying. It not only showcases the various activities undertaken during the project but also captures the breathtaking scenery of Cyprus, metaphorically representing the transformative power of unity against adversity.

For context:

Mariam Jojua

It was an amazing experience, ways I got participated was off the charts, I learned a lot and I believe they learned from me too, because this is exactly why this project was made, it was made for everybody to share, learn, laugh and experience. I thank project managers and coordinators for this amazing project called CREACTION. The people were absolutely the best, who would have thought that, people with different issues, different values and countries could come together to discuss a same issue, it was unforgottable.

At first I was afraid of all this, since it was first time I had ever been on a project before. But soon enough i understood that everybody here is for same reason as me, to learn and experience. This project has taught me so much about anti-bullying that I would have ever imagined. You taught us how to communicate and observe people,The ways of participation, the therapies, different types of bullying and many more that will not go unnoticed, thank you!

I was chosen for this project the day before departure bevasue of the emergency and I was more sceptical and afraid as anybody else. The way this project developed me and gave me an opportunity to meet a lot of amazing people is astonishing. I congratulate each and every one of you especially: Nikolas, Dimitris, Erma and Bobby. These are the people who changed our lives into something better via CREACTION. and I will never forget how much work you have put in this project, put together an amazing team and invited dozens of people to help them too.

There is so much to talk about this project, I mean what should I talk about first? The professionalism? The coordinators? Venue? or this project itself, which was a perfect combination of those i mentioned. I came to this project just like everybody else, which was to bring knowledge to our own countries, which means we all face the same problems back home. However because of CREACTION we are prepared now, we have not only knowledge but experience and we will all fight agains it on our own basis. Thank you so much!
