BRAVO STORIES

“The journey to and from Vinnitsya was an adventure on its own, reminding me that growth often happens outside our comfort zone. But what left the deepest impact was witnessing the resilience of the Ukrainian people. Despite the hardships they face, their strength, optimism, and determination to create something better were deeply inspiring.”

“This experience was truly unique. Through team quests, interactive games, and non-formal teaching methods, we explored complex and sensitive topics such as the recognition of manipulation, extremist ideologies, marginalization, and strategies for preventing these phenomena.”

“Although the project was short, it was incredibly well-organized, and the time was used to the fullest. We connected with young people from across the Balkans, including Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia and Albania, forming new friendships. What made CineBalk exceptional was the organizer’s dedication to maximizing our experience. “

“Throughout the whole week we had different kinds of workshops where each day was dedicated to some specific art form. That way everyone had a chance to express themselves artistically and share their passion and knowledge with others. I am beyond grateful for this experience, it was truly something I needed. I want to say a huge thank you to BRAVO for giving me a chance to be in Cortes again. I love that so-called White Village with all of my heart and without BRAVO I probably wouldn’t even know it exists. “

“The project gathered 40 young people from across Europe, and right from the start, the atmosphere was full of energy, curiosity, and openness. The training focused on sustainability and digital transformation, but what made it special was the way we learned.”

“The most impactful part of the project was the human connection, interacting and building relationships with people I might never have met otherwise. Learning about different cultures and countries in such an engaging and interactive way was inspiring and eye-opening. I feel incredibly grateful to now have friends across Europe, from Greece to Romania, who I can visit and stay connected with.”

“The recent Youth Exchange project was truly a unique and special experience for me. Our whole national team was amazing, and everyone was cooperative and really friendly. All of the participants from the exchange had a special talent that they could showcase to others, and that is something that really changed my perspective.”

“This youth exchange has left a huge impact on me. The topic of entrepreneurship was exactly the thing that drew me to this project, but let me tell you the place didn’t disappoint. The wonderful lake of Balaton is truly the hidden gem of Hungary. We had the opportunity to meet people from six different countries and learn a bit from each other.”
