Unleash your potential was a youth exchange held in Denmark in july 2015 with participants from the UK, Netherlands and Sweden.The aim was to unleash the beneficiaries potential and discuss issues that affect them as refugees. The project offered a unique insight into how to heal the pain of war, bridge the cultural gap and build a brighter future using European values and valuable lessons garnered from European WW2 war refugees and their descendents. Through debates, assignments, lectures and workshops a Danish historian and licensed Danish psychologist team together we offered insight into the dramatic history behind the establishment of the EU and take the participants on a historical tour of the similarities between WW2 and the Somali Civil War. This was followed by an introduction to European values and how to implement, combine and internalize these values together with Somali values to get the best of two worlds. The project culminated with advice, tips and tools on how to use education and knowledge to build a bright future and planted inspirational mental seeds that will slowly grow and give long-term benefits for life.
