“I met many new people from different countries and I actually made a lot of new friends. Everyone was very open, friendly and ready to talk to, so it was easy to connect. During the sessions, I learned the main steps of preparing and leading a workshop. I understood how to communicate with young people, how to keep their attention. I also learned how to work in a team and how important it is to listen to others. The activities helped me to feel more confident and to express my ideas without fear.”

“There are no words that can describe an experience such as this youth exchange. As a young high schooler, going on her first exchange, I was overwhelmed with a little bit of fear, but a lot of joy. EcoLeaders gave me a space to grow, think and live in the moment. It gave me a chance to express myself and meet my peers from different parts of Europe. But most importantly, this exchange let me create memories that will never be forgotten.”

“This experience opened my heart to new cultures and sparked a deep desire to continue exploring the world in the future. I am truly grateful to BRAVO for providing this opportunity specifically to me, an experience that will benefit me in so many ways, both personally and professionally. I look forward to taking part in many new projects and continuing this journey of growth and discovery.”

“Being a part of this project in Gijon was life changing. It changed my perspective on so many things, in the best possible way. I’ve learned a lot about people from all over the world, but also about myself. It taught me that inclusion isn’t just something that you learn about – it is something you feel. Even though all of us came from different backgrounds, we gradually learned how much we’re all alike and just how much we all have in common.”
