The topic of the exchange was “HOME!? – the World Inside and Around Me”. It was a very important topic, especially now, when so many people changing their homes.
Let’s take a look at the discussions about what home means to people, what we can do to make others feel at home and what participants of the exchange think about this topic:
“Home has several meaning and points of view. “
“Home is not only a place or a family but also sounds, smells, and tastes. Home can also be friends or pets. Sometimes, home can be inside us! Of course, home can also be the land we come from. It can be a place where we can relax and enjoy life. Home can also be a partner or a place we visit every day. “
“Home is connected with the memories, a sense of belonging, personal identity, safety, music, sports and many other things.”
“Our home is also our mind and our body, it’s not just a building but also the environment.”
“Home is, first of all, in our hearts, and then in the whole world.”
What do you think you could do to make the people around you feel at home?
“I think our young people taught us during these two weeks how we can make others feel at home just through simple smiles, hugs, and jokes. They made each other feel at home so naturally. The love they showed and felt is the true feeling of home.”
“I can make people around me feel at home by sharing my traditions, for example, through meals, games, or stories. I can also offer support by being available to help others with any needs they may have. Additionally, I can respect boundaries, allowing people to express themselves and engage at their own comfort level.”
“I believe we must fight for better living conditions for those who do not have this privilege. The idea and practice of solidarity, I think, is the first and most important thing – to learn, to do, and to share.”
“Being kind and trying communicate is key.”
Creating a sense of home is not just about physical space—it’s about the connections we build, the kindness we show, and the respect we give to others.
Each of us has the power to make the world a more welcoming place. By being open, understanding, and compassionate, we can help people feel at home, no matter where they are.
So let’s continue to listen, learn, and support one another. Because in the end, home is not just a place—it’s a feeling we create together.
