Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Summer Institute Alumnus Reflects on His Fellowship

Daniel Voda: The Ben Franklin program is based on peer to peer education by which everybody is learning from everybody. And this is what I liked most about the Ben Franklin because it is not just us sitting in the classes and having some boring stories form some professors, but it's more like engaging professor, engaging students, engaging those debates, those conversations. So in that way we can learn one from each other. At the BFTF I changed the sense of creativity itself because at the BFTF you have the chance to touch and smoothly play with the all the cultures from all over  Europe and the US so far. You have the chance to build up a bridge over atlantic oceans. So for me it was a good experience to get to know all those countries which I, so ok yea, I knew the populations of most of them, I knew the habits of the people so far, so called "Stereotypes." But having those people close by and talking to them I just discovered how great are human kinds. So it's all about bringing the change inside of your self and then sharing the change with other fellows. And if everybody will do that and if everyone will live with the philosophy that they can make the difference and they can be the change in their communities then this world will just be a peaceful heaven and I think that we will not even need to die to go to heaven because it will be already here on this planet on the Earth.
