“The Big Thing” podcast series is out with a new episode! The series brings listeners an exclusive behind-the-scenes insight into the project’s activities and the people who make it special. The podcast is recorded, edited and mixed by Ditmar, Jay and Youssri. A special thank you goes to them.
On this episode, Kinga and Ibrahim, two participants of “The Big Thing” project, along with Angélique, one of the three accompanying persons, reflect on their experiences during the transnational training held in Slovenia in July. They share their motivations for joining the project, what they hoped to achieve, and the impact it has had on their personal and professional growth.
The three interviewees also discuss the challenges they encountered throughout the project, the lessons they’ve learned along the way, and their favorite moments. They also share what they will take with them after “The Big Thing” finishes—offering listeners a glimpse into how these experiences will shape their future work in promoting inclusivity and empowerment.
