Making Connections

JULY 2008

Vitalik and Ilyos in London

Two of Youth Lifes break dancers arrived in England June the 27th 2008. The goal of this trip to the Uk is: to swap the expriences youth leaders have received through working in YOUTH LIFE and also to get to know other organisations how they work and also encourage them to visit central asia.

The exchange began in different schools meetings are held in the mornings: first of all, break dancing and then the guys introduce themselves and share with the British youth how they work in Central Asia and why we do the work we do?

Other areas talked about are the georgraphy of central asia and people, traditions and customs.

There has also been opportunity for the youth leaders from Tajikistan to try bmx and rollerbalding lessons in the UK. which has been very exciting...

The guys have also built 2 break dance teams in England, in the county of Essex but in different towns. The guys are looking forward to seeing how the teams will develop in the future and to help them.
