At the beginning I thought this project will be like any other project that we see on the AIESEC site which means that we will be given certain tasks and we have to fulfill it , but The Urban Mapper Project was different because we all were preparing together and brain storming, trying to come up with the activities and games to deliver the information to the children in a fun way and that was a big challenge for us.
I've learned many skills and approaches in this project , first of all when we had the workshop with Fahmi and Pik-Svonn and they showed us how to be a facilitator and this is not just one skill it's how to handle a game with children how to give them a clear instructions and also maintaining high energy level ,also another skill is how to handle a group discussion and to deal with different kind of people for example the one who don't want to listen even and the one who is always talking and interrupting others ,besides how to make a lesson plan with clear objectives and approaches to fulfill these objectives.
Also it was my first time to present in front of people and that was a great experience as well ,besides working in a great team helping each other coming up with new ideas this helps me to accept the opinions of others and that you are not always right. This exchange also taught me how to depend on myself and to be responsible for my actions. At last I just want to say it was a great experience and I've really gained a lot.
