“Studying and doing my research on such an important topic, with even more important people has been the highlight of this entire project. Beneath Riga’s icy breeze, we found warmth in expanding our culture in all four geographical directions: to Latvia, Georgia, Spain, Hungary, Türkiye, and all the way to Egypt, Mongolia and Uzbekistan.
I can confidently say that BRAVO’s projects change lives. I worked on strengthening European interculturalism, upgraded my professional skills and checked another destination off my travel bucket list. Now it’s your turn to make the world wonder.” – Ahmed Goran
“This project has a special place in my heart. During this amazing project that focuses on the most important things these days, stress and mental health, I had the chance to meet amazing people from various countries like Georgia, Latvia, Turkey… All these countries tell their own story, special and powerful. It was a pleasure to meet all these cultures and work with them.
This was my first Erasmus + project and I will be grateful to BRAVO for the rest of my life because they gave me the opportunity to participate in it. I can definitely say that BRAVO changes lives of young people in BiH because they changed mine. This project helped me to grow as a person, develop my skills and discover true happiness and joy! – Tarik Kahrić
“By participating in this youth exchange, I have gained knowledge regarding stress management and met a lot of incredible young individuals. We worked together to teach each other valuable lessons and we got an opportunity to learn about different languages, cultures and traditions, while exploring Riga together. Our mentor was great and he has taught us many important things.
I got a chance to get out of my comfort zone, learn, connect with amazing people and build meaningful friendships, all thanks to BRAVO. I am really grateful for the opportunity to represent our country and BRAVO in this project, and this experience was unforgettable.” – Katarina Pašić
“Exploring the Baltics was an amazing experience- We got to meet their unique culture and people. The project was executed very smoothly, and the organisations that were responsible for the project were very professional. In the end, we felt like one big family.” – Bakir Destanović
“I was lucky to take part in a project in Riga, Latvia. The city was beautiful, full of history and charm. I met amazing people during my time there and made strong connections that I will always remember. It was a wonderful experience that I will never forget.” – Delila Vatreš
“Participating in Mindful Moments in Riga was a valuable and refreshing experience I will cherish forever. The project focused on something we often overlook—mental health and how we manage stress in our everyday lives. Through interactive workshops and group activities, guided by a really amazing trainer, I learned a lot of things that I can actually apply beyond the project.
What made it even more special was the group. Connecting with people from Latvia, Türkiye, Hungary, Georgia, reminded me how much we can learn from each other when we’re open and relaxed. We shared stories, enjoyed the beauties of Riga, and had some pretty good laughs along the way. It wouldn’t be the same experience without all those people.
Big thanks to BRAVO for making this possible. This project helped me grow personally and professionally—and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something meaningful and exciting.” – Armela Madeško
“This was my very first exchange, and honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. I‘m usually a pretty quiet and reserved person, but this project really helped me open up. Being surrounded by such kind and supportive people made it easier to share my thoughts and be myself. We learned a lot about stress and how to deal with it, but for me, the best part was connecting with others.
There were participants not only from Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also from Georgia, Latvia, Türkiye, and Hungary – and it was amazing to learn about their cultures and hear different perspectives. We laughed a lot, explored a new city together, and had some really meaningful conversations. Our mentor was great and was always there for us. I’m so grateful I got to be part of this – it was a special experience that I’ll always carry with me.” – Alma Kajmaković
“Wow. What an experience. I look back and there’s nothing but absolute love and joy for this project and especially the people that accompanied me on this unexpected adventure. The people I was with, these beautiful, pure angels, made this unforgettable journey filled with love, friendship, laughter, learning, and ultimately heartbreak at the unavoidable parting.
I am thankful to have been blessed with the opportunity to learn more about this topic and to do my part in talking about and solving this great issue regarding stress and mental health. Though our paths now diverge, the memories we created and the lessons we shared will remain etched in my heart. This chapter may be closing, but the impact it’s had on me—and the bonds we’ve formed—will live on.
If this is goodbye, then let it be with gratitude, not sorrow—for we were lucky to have walked together, even for a while.
I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.” – Haris Kadić
“Cluelessly wandering through the streets of the unknown city, with people you met just a few hours ago, having no idea what time it is, to some sound like madness and to some like a dream come true. If to you it sounds like a dream then join Bravo for one of the adventures, just like I did in Latvia. With people from Georgia, Turikye, Hungary and Latvia I shared some of the most interesting and beautiful moments that I will cherish forever. From silly little moments to interactive workshops it was a simply lovely experience, something I wish for everyone to go through for at least once in their lives.
If you want to make a world wonder, write an application and join Bravo for the lifetime experience. This being my 4th Bravo project I must say it was a top notch, just like all others. From the organisation of the project to the people themselves it was an extraordinary experience. Spending hours and hours with people from different backgrounds, learning about them and from them, making endless memories and witnessing new culture before your eyes, is something no one will ever be able to take away from you. So go and create memories and friendships that will stick with you forever. ” – Jakuta Duvnjak
”This project was my first Erasmus+ experience, and I am grateful to BRAVO for accepting and choosing me to go to Riga. During this project, I learned how to deal with and manage stress, and I gained a lot from learning about other people’s cultures. I learned that all of us are the same and face similar problems, but each of us is unique because we deal with them in different ways.
My favorite part of the project was spending time with all the participants from Latvia, Türkiye, Georgia, Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina. I loved the workshops Boti made, they were both fun and educational, and during the free time I had the chance to meet some amazing people and form connections that will last a long time. All in all, I loved this project and can’t wait to participate in more. I’m also very grateful for everything I’ve learned from managing stress to learning about different cultures, and I made memories that will last forever.“ – Zara Zeljković
