What to Expect
"Discover Yourself" is a program that helps teenagers better understand who they are, build confidence, and learn to navigate the world around them.
We create a space where teens can ask big questions:
Who am I? What makes me... me? How do I want to show up in the world?
Through games, collaborative projects, and creative workshops, participants explore their strengths and learn to be more confident, flexible, and open.

How It Works
A project-based approach. Every teenager becomes part of a team and works on a project. Throughout the program, participants:
- Engage in role-playing and simulation games to learn decision-making and working in various situations. In one game, they might take on leadership roles; in another, they navigate group conflicts. This helps build leadership skills and teamwork.
- Participate in project days where they explore various formats—film, theater, exhibitions, and other creative projects.
- Attend workshops designed to enhance creative and social skills. Public speaking and acting workshops, for example, are significant steps toward overcoming the fear of public performances.
- Collaborate within teams, learning to solve tasks together and take responsibility for outcomes.

A creative journey through emotions, perception, and inner responses.
Echo is all about noticing what usually goes unseen in everyday life—the feelings that arise from music, movement, visual imagery, and human connection.
This session focuses on self-awareness and expression through art, sound, media, and physical presence. Each day is a creative experiment where participants explore their inner world and bring it to life using various tools: Media art, photography, collages, visual projects; Video & sound: audio sketches, montage, silence studies; Theatre & movement: gesture, voice, body awareness; AI-powered image and sound generation; Intimate conversations, micro-investigations, and playful formats.
