As a digital journalist, my work doesn’t require trips to combat zones. I have observed others doing it, listened to their stories, and felt a strong desire to experience it myself.
However, during the training, I realized that if it’s challenging for me physically and mentally here, it would be even more difficult on the front line.
Still, I am confident that the knowledge I gained can be applied during a crisis situation in the city. (And since I live in Kharkiv, this is very possible.)
The trainers were exceptionally smart and engaging, providing us with the most crucial information, answering our questions, and keeping the atmosphere light with humor.
