The political seminar was was held in Karlsruhe , a beautiful city located at the right of the Rhine and near the beginning of the Black Forest. The journey to Karlsruhe began and once we reached the place; we completed our registrations and were allotted with our rooms. Soon we were given the instructions about the stay and the food timings. Then we all were divided into our groups which was the "Politics - Basics" group. We began with the introduction session and that's when we came to know about the other group members, their interest, their work etc. The group consisted of volunteers from Bosnia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Ukraine and India. For guiding us throughout the session we got a nice mentor "Nadine".
Everyday we got different tasks from the mentor. For each tasks we were divided into different groups. These tasks helped us to know the other volunteers too in a much better way. This seminar provided us a platform to explore the culture and tradition of different countries and its political systems in comparison with our mother country. There was a discussion about human rights and this was the platform to peep into the social system of different countries.
Everyone exchanged their experiences and it was more like group therapy..!! Those who were really exhausted in their volunteering were given suggestions to overcome the feeling. We also had the platform to present India to the group. When we were presenting about India a lot of queries raised by the volunteers from different countries regarding the Political systems of India, Traditions, Freedom for women, Educational system, Festivals, Human Rights and Cleanliness..etc Sharing the glory of our nation was the most happiest feeling we ever had..!
