Is there anything similar between reading 📖 and music 🎶? How these activities affect your mental and physical well being? Our meeting with an American VSPP, Alana Underwood, helped youth from Kherson and Mariupol regions find lots of benefits of these pastimes. After the discussion, Alana being a therapist and physiologist in Texas, decided to insert some exercises to help everyone feel calm and less stressed. So we did some breathing exercises for a while and shared some other ways to feel relaxed. After the meeting all participants got some useful expressions related to the topic and chatted on our Telegram Group with each other.

What's the point of reading?
That’s been the third time when active youth from Mariupol and Kherson joined the English Speaking Practice with our 🇺🇸friend, a VSPP Alana Underwood. This time our topic was related to reading and how it affects our mood and live in general. We’re really excited to hear that all participants who joined yesterday, are crazy about reading 📖 📚. They showed us their books and shared the plots of their favorite ones. We had some people who were reading the same book at the same time - they have definitely lots in common. After some speaking part, Alana shared some positive impacts of books and we discussed them together. They were also given some homework 📄 in the chats on Telegram and WhatsApp - to find more positive aspects of reading and how books make people feel. It would be really interesting to read their comments and get a feedback from Alana. Thank you @peacecorpsukraine for giving us a chance to improve our knowledge and achieve new skills.

Youth Development
We’ve already started our new meetings for Youth Development supported by Peace Corps Ukraine. Yesterday we had a first session which was attended by more than 25 students originally from Kherson and Mariupol but reside in different parts of Ukraine and even abroad. There was also a special guest, a virtual service pilot participant from Texas, USA 🇺🇸, Alana Underwood, who agreed to help us improve our English and strengthen self resilience. So we all got acquainted with each other doing some speaking activities and asking questions to each other. We were so impressed with the level of their English - they sound really well.
For the next meeting we’re preparing a nice and important topic to discuss - “Setting goals and how to achieve them”. So if you’re interested in developing soft skills, please DM and join us online.
