After this training course, I realised many things about my personality and my ability to communicate and share my thoughts with others. Moreover, I came up with the skills of video editing and filming. It was an amasing experience that I will always remember. I use many of my recent knowledge in daily life and especially at work.

"Beyond the Veil" was not just another project for me.. it was a new door of opportunities to discover a new world.. The world of video editing.. Every day we were editing a new video with a new story behind...some realistic and some funny.. its was amazing to work each day within a different group, film, direct direct and edit videos.... For me this project will remain unforgettable not only for the new skills about shot camera moved i have now after during this week but also for the people i met there and the discussions we had. in this point i like to thank Ifigenia Katchie and Social Policy and Action Organization for this opportunity. I look forward to see everyone again in March for the second part of the Training Course.
