English Speaking Practice for Kherson and Mariupol

This week at our English Speaking Practice for Kherson and Mariupol youth, we explored a topic that feels very real for many teenagers and young adults — worries about the future, career choices, pressure to succeed, and learning to trust yourself along the way.

Participants openly shared their thoughts about the fear of making the “wrong” decision, comparing themselves to others, and feeling like they need to have everything planned already. Together, we discussed why it is completely normal not to know your full path yet and how every experience can teach us something valuable.

Through interactive games, debates, roleplays, and speaking activities, we discovered personal strengths, matched skills with possible careers, imagined our future selves, and practiced giving advice to friends facing uncertainty.

The session was full of honest conversations, laughter, encouragement, and new vocabulary. Most importantly, it reminded us that success is not one straight road — it is a journey of learning, trying, making mistakes, adapting, and growing.
