At Project Pocket, memebers now have access to the location to train their dance whenever they feel for it. Self-organisation rules!

Dealing with a topic whose entrance is below the grass roots, we need to operate accordingly, immerging into culture like using public transport in Uganda.

But it is always worth it. From backyards of youth culture, to slums and local enthusiasts-journalists, a mighty picture of social culture where many issues of our own society get a new light, takes its form.

Tave oyu even tried to have a talk during a heavy tropical rain, being in a hangar covered with corrigered steel? It is a challenge of its own character…. Kampala is a very special place for social work.

In our project Break the Silence, a big part is connecting to specialists and creatives in media brunch and that we got some help with! Big thanks to Patricia and Abaas at MCI! Many giving talks, discussions and following meetings! The subject of sexual abuse is really difficult to tackle but it does help to bring in perspective from different countries, historic views and conditions.

Together with Folketsuniversitet we conduct a series of sessions where studying Swedish language goes along with cultural exchange and interpersonal communication. Results are great! Students reach their studying goals alost double as fast!

Breaking the Silence has not been expected to be an easy task, in understanding the conditions and premises of what we are dealing with. So we make out own map as we go….

Thanks to Swedish Institute support we can now extand our work to Uganda, where we hope to address issues of silence around sexual abuse and understand what hinders the public discussion in the subject.

The group that has been created to study Swedish with an emphasis on social work and civil society, jas now come a point of multiple choices. Some gilrs got work offers, some feel need to come back to Ukraine and morally support their families. It is time to reevaluate and reconsider what we want and how we go from here. One thing clear, each step is bringing one further on the road of life and development, we are happy for each one of them. Another learning is, trauma processing in a long and complex thing, a lot of awareness and understanding is needed for the involved, participants as leaders.

• it is harder to keep up with the etiquette in a smaller group. And international sense of humour takes over as ladies from all over Europe and beyond meet for a planning meeting and experience exchange in Helsignborg.

As a follow up of our work in Ethiopia, a new project saw the light and was kindly approved by Swedish Institute. This time we go to Uganda and see what stands in the way of articulating issues of sexual violence. We hope to get help by local yournalists, media production specialists and teachers. Good luck to us…
