"Hello, I am Gülşah and I am 22 years old. During the month of July, I participated in a project called "I am sports+volunteer" in Italy. The aim of this project was to reintroduce young people, especially during the pandemic, to sports who had drifted away from them. Alongside a team of Turkish and Italian volunteers, we spent a month engaging young individuals in activities such as volleyball, badminton, basketball, and more, all in an effort to encourage them towards sports and a healthy lifestyle. In addition to sports activities, we conducted lessons in Italian, English, and Turkish. Through this, I had the opportunity to improve my English and learn many words and phrases in Italian. Moreover, I got to intimately know the Italian culture and introduced Turkish culture as well. Thanks to the project, I had the chance to travel to different cities in Italy and witness their historical and cultural heritage. I made many new friends. It was an unforgettable experience for me."
