My name is Lorenzo, and I participated in the project called "I'm Sports Volunteer" in Sorgun. This experience allowed me to immerse myself in Turkish culture for a month, enabling me to understand various aspects of this fascinating culture.

Thanks to the various activities we engaged in, I had the opportunity to try numerous sports and physical activities such as hiking, swimming, bocce, volleyball, soccer, badminton, orienteering, and rafting. These activities also allowed me to explore the beautiful Turkish nature and admire its breathtaking landscapes.

We were a group of 11 young people, including 6 Turks and 5 from Italy. The Turkish youths were extremely welcoming and kind, helping us to adapt and making us feel at home.

Additionally, we had the chance to raise awareness among the residents of Sorgun about pollution and recycling through interviews. This initiative was promoted by the Sorged association, which offers everyone the opportunity to participate in such activities.

I recommend to everyone to have a similar experience to enrich their personal skills and get to know this splendid culture and country fully.
