A story about how we organised our first Go courses.

We created a free-of-charge Go course with almost no limitations for participants. We received 450 applications and after a few months ended up with a group of 9 people. Basically, it's a story about our very first experience of organizing such a project, teaching a big group of people and motivating them. It's a description of 6 months of incredible experience during the war in Ukraine.

I think this story may motivate other people:
1. It's never too late to start a new journey and obtain a new profession and learn something new
2. There are always will be people who are ready to help you to be strong
3. No matter how much knowledge or experience you have - you always have something that you can share with others and make them be better

No violence is included in this presentation. Links to volunteering organizations are optional.
