The idea is to get together our volunteers in informal manner and play entertaining games at the bar and get to know each other to discuss any ideas our volunteers would like to talk about.

Poetry walk is an idea which came from our volunteer Ahmed and supported by the other volunteers too. Participants will be walking through the city as a group, observing nature and the surrounding city life along the way. Every participant’s experience and imagination of the outside environment varies tremendously. Through poetry participants will finally express their observations in their own words. It does not necessarily have to follow the rules of proper literature neither have prior experience in writing poem. Those expressions or poem will be collected in one platform where it will be published either in a newspaper or social medias anonymously.
