We did a lot of activities together &#8211; we ate, played, prayed, walked and much more. One of the highlights of this weekend was the role models session, where we invited people from different walks of life and they spoke to us about their life, what makes life meaningful for them and how we can strengthen our communities, among other things. We also had the opportunity to talk to them in smaller groups, and get to know them a bit better.\u00a0Thank you to all participants and leaders who made this experience possible and wonderful!

We took part in different interactive workshops where we openly discussed and shared our opinions and experiences. Although we had some challenging moments, the incredible support and collaboration among our team members helped us to overcome these challenges. It was a very enjoyable and enriching experience that left a profound and lasting impact on me. The exceptional teamwork and the strong sense of togetherness made this training all the more special. I am grateful for the meaningful connections and valuable lessons I gained from this experience.- Matthew Spiteri, \u017bAK \u0126al Tarxien. On the 22nd of June, another\u00a0role model session was held at Our Lady Immaculate School in \u0126amrun, the students had the privilege of listening to Jamie, a \u017bAK member who is the reigning female chess champion of Malta and a council member of the Malta Chess Federation. Jamie introduced the fundamentals of chess, its historical background, and the remarkable achievements of women in the game. She highlighted the benefits of engaging in chess, fostering friendships, personal development, and stress relief. Jamie emphasized the importance of creativity and decision-making for becoming a good chess player. To make her message relatable, she shared her personal journey in chess, from starting at a young age to fearlessly competing in international tournaments. She encouraged the students to embrace bold moves and think critically, both in chess and in life. The students were given a small board game as a small token, and also with the aim of encouraging them to play with others in order to nurture and grow in the skills associated with such games. \u00a0 The live-in and session were held as part of the Role Models Project financed by the European Union Programmes Agency in collaboration with \u017bAK. This activity&#8217;s administration was handled by \u017bAK&#8217;s Youth Work Coordinator, who is funded by A\u0121enzija \u017bg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127 through the Invest Scheme.\u00a0@Erasmus+ &amp; European Solidarity Corps &#8211; EUPA Malta @A\u0121enzija \u017bg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127\u00a0"}
