One of the reasons that led me to participate in the RESOLVE: Play for Peace youth exchange in Turkey was the desire to deconstruct the idea that travelling to a Muslim country is dangerous. This is clearly wrong because I always felt safe and the people of Turkey are the most welcoming and kind people I have ever met! Therefore, I believe that this exchange was essential to break down prejudices and bring people from different cultures together.
I thank all the participants for contributing to broadening my knowledge and being an example of altruism.
I highly recommend everyone to participate in a youth exchange! I promise it will be a very rewarding experience!
