BRAVO STORIES

“My time in the Erasmus+ program “Make every step count“ in Italy was truly transformative. From savoring delicious Italian cuisine, like pizza, pasta, and cheese, to connecting with wonderful people from diverse countries. Every moment was truly enriching. I had the opportunity to learn bits of different languages and immerse myself in traditional cultural dances.”

“The youth exchange in Graz on the occasion of the Urban Art Festival Styria was a truly freeing experience of days filled with creativity, dance and laughter. It is really a difficult task to capture such an enriching and creatively fulfilling exchange in just a few paragraphs. Upon our arrival, we engaged in ice-breaker activities to get to know each other, followed by two full days of exploring the city of Graz.”

“This was my first youth exchange and it was an amazing experience indeed. I am very grateful to BRAVO for giving me such an opportunity to meet new people and embrace our cultural differences through dancing. Besides learning about cultures and dances from different countries, I have managed to meet great people and make lifelong friendships. I will remember this project for wonderful people, exquisite dances and beautiful Vienna.”

In August 2024, the city of Vienna gathered 6 different countries and their cultures in the project “Shall We Dance.” This youth exchange program brought together participants from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Ukraine, North Macedonia, and Turkey, creating a vibrant tapestry of cultures, traditions, and shared experiences.   A Celebration of Cultural Diversity   At

“Under the sunny rays of Andalusia, embraced by mountain peaks and warmth, the world was found in our small village. The wind, saturated with the scents of olives and ancient legends, carried inspiration and unspoken words. Walking through the narrow streets of the village of Cortes de la Frontera, with white houses gently blending into the blue sky, we absorbed every moment.”

“Every Erasmus+ project is a unique and memorable experience. Through BRAVO BiH I had the ecstatic opportunity to participate in the training course “ICE-CREAM for social entrepreneurship” in Abovyan, Armenia. Upon acknowledging my acceptance into the training course, I was filled with eager enthusiasm for its commencement; only to watch as time rapidly slipped away once the journey had begun.”
