“”The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page”


I guess all people like reading. Some of them like telling the stories, others like writing. When somebody says that creating is not their pair of shoes, we can doubt it and do not agree. 
Today was a great day for both students and adult YLP participants. We were invited to the American Councils where we met Representatives of the US Department of State Sarah Shields , Patrick O’Brien, Desk Officer for Azerbaijan, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, Megan Huber, Program Assistant, Office of Alumni Affairs.  The meeting was a success. Everybody enjoyed the conversation as no questions remained unanswered.


After the break the sessions on Storytelling by SpeakeasyDC took everyone back to their homes and made remember real life stories. The students had to tell their partners about their family traditions. The things that they heard were nice, happy and sweet.  Then they had to remember the time when they were in trouble and were able to find their way out. Stephanie told everyone her “Spanish Story” which made us laugh. It was a real workshop and the participants learned how to write their own stories   using classic stories outlines.


The peak activities of the day were visiting Karabakh foundation and the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
