Hello, I'm Matteo, I'm 19 and I had the possibility to agree to the project named: "I'm sports+ volunteer" in Sorgun.

Thanks to this experience that least 1 month we discovered the Turkish culture also thanks to the activity we did.

We organized some days dedicated to culture exchanges, we ate some typical food such as sarma, döner, kebab, tantuni, kadayif in order to be more into their culture; one Turkish volunteer invited us to have breakfast at his house and it was an amazing experience discovering all of their dishes. so delicious.

Of course, as the name of the project says, we did lot of kind of sports: orienteering, rafting, hiking, swimming, football and also volleyball, badminton and bocce.

In some lessons we discussed about the climate change and we organized some activities in order to reduce this huge problem, for example one day we went next to a lake to clean the all area.

During the whole experience I improved my English and learned some Turkish words.

We prepared some Italian, English and Turkish lessons for sorgun's guys and they enjoyed a lot.

Each lesson includes some games at the end and thanks to them we had the possibility to find out our real temper and personality.

Thanks to Sorged each guests earned something, everyone learned something new about languages and other cultures.

also Turkish people thanks to the activities based on Italian culture tried some Italian food such as "arancini" and "pasta al forno" and everyone appreciated it.

I am so grateful to take part in this amazing project; for sure it will sign my entire life.

Thanks for everything
