  Ebru McCallum, Turkey, former staff & participant; college professor says
  “There are many things I like about work at Legacy. Creativity is the first. Everybody is inspired to be creative, to bring out their hidden depths and skills. Inclusion comes next. I admire the integrity of the environment to create a gossip-free, clique-free experience, where people can express themselves in direct, creative ways and where everyone feels accepted and valued.
  
  I learned creative ways of helping young people work as a team, explore issues regarding their immediate society and the global society, which all came in handy in my college teaching experience. By my GYV experience and by observing how it is created, I have become more able to create such a classroom environment myself and other teachers have also taken ideas and activities from me, which made a positive contribution to the school.”
