What do I want to become? Over the course of four days, 56 teenagers from the Mykolaiv region came a little closer to answering that question.

From 27 to 30 October, a career guidance camp for teenagers aged 14–17 took place in Mykolaiv, supported by the German Government and the EU.

Participants were divided into two groups, working in two sessions.

What was on the programme:

  • interactive games and workshops

  • practical tasks to explore their own interests and abilities

  • an introduction to the world of work and modern career opportunities

  • teamwork and the exchange of ideas

  • exercises to help them better understand their strengths

Choosing a career at the age of 14–17 isn’t easy, and there’s no need to rush into it. The camp gave the teenagers the time and space to try their hand at different roles and work out what really interests them.

At the end of the camp, each participant received a stationery set as a gift – for their studies and new ideas.

We would like to thank the participants for their openness and courage to try new things, the parents for their trust, and the trainers for the informative programme.
