Friendship along the way to “greening”

DSC_0247So the summer has passed, young greens returned to their usual life, office, new plans, conferences, actions. We are still under impression of the “CDN Summer Camp – East-West Bridge. Green Values for South Caucasus”, share some thoughts and remind of those days with smile. Our friends from Europe and near neighborhood send us their impression too. Today I want to share them with you. This time guys form Armenia and Azerbaijan with their feedback!!

Lusine (European Movement in Armenia)

“It was really useful to come together & discuss Green Values & to try to finds some solutions. Nice to see that youngsters are doing their best to make the world better place & that they are concerned what is going on around us! I`m sure Caucuses will survive all the difficulties with the help of Greens =)

P.S I miss Georgia very much, hope to be there again, very amazing place!!”

Sarkhan (Green AZ)

“First of all the summer camp was a nice experience for me in terms of team building. All exercises that we practiced showed us how we can come over certain problems by applying one of the Green Pillars the “Grassroots democracy”.
During those games we learned how to avoid disagreements by rising above the straggle and try to understand the opponent’s stand point. In this regards the role play game helped us much to not only understand but also experience what can a member of certain community or group experience in the society.

I am sure that nearly all socio-economic problems of the Caucasus can be and should be solved by in Green manner. But unfortunately our societies are not that familiar with Green Movement at all. In this sense it was a good experience for us to look at the Caucasus in the Green Framework and try to get idea what can be done to preserve this beautiful nature and this interesting culture for future generations without all these problems that we face today.

Secondly during the culture nights I got familiar with different cultures and of course national foods (I would like to mention also national drinks like “Kymys” :-) ) I was glad when our team, mainly composed of azeris, won the best price in the mini game prepared by our Armenian friends. This incident gave me a great motivation. so that though our countries are in the state of war, we still know each other’s culture well and this knowledge hopefully will help us to solve this conflict in peaceful way.

Beside such academic feedbacks I also liked very much the monastery on the beautiful mountain. I have enjoyed this spiritual beauty of the nature and architecture very much.

In addition I would like to thank all members of prepteam for their grate job.

Kristina (FYCA, Armenia)

“got lots of new information, got acquaintance with very kind and smart people finally got very good friends!
I’m admired with the nature in Georgia especially in Pasanauri! Really It was very pleasant.
But besides all this I got lots of knowledge in “Green Values” field, which can help us to cultivate further steps in our young life in order to try to brush up a bit our economy) and to begin the new deal in green economy!
So I organised training in my organisation FYCA (Federation of youth clubs of Armenia) with aim to pass information, knowledge which I got in Georgia in order to begin this movement in Armenia!
Hope we will co-operate in future!
Hope to see you again also in Armenia!!!”

Meet you with new impressions…
