“This exchange was definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had when it comes to youth mobility projects. The theme of dance and intercultural connection brought out the patriotic side of all of us, which we then used to explore the similarities and cherish the differences between our cultures.
In addition, we had such an interesting task of creating a dance that contained elements of each of our respective traditional dances. We called it the “European dance”, with sprinkles of Ukrainian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Bosnian, and Turkish folk and culture. All in all, an unforgettable experience.” – Sara Humić
“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.” – Lamija Aličić
“First time on exchange and I can already say that this is one of my better experiences that I will definitely remember! In addition to the interesting dance steps that were focused on, we also learned to accept differences and show respect for them! Vienna took my heart but also the wonderful people I spent the last week with. BRAVO thank you.” – Nedim Krajinović
“It was an incredible opportunity to learn about other cultures, meet inspiring people from different countries and gain new perspectives. We all connected through the universal language of dance. Each day was filled with creative workshops and interesting topics. This was my first exchange and I am very thankful for this opportunity.” – Azra Nuhić
“The Youth Exchange program in Vienna, Austria, called “Shall We Dance” was definitely one of my favorite Erasmus+ programs so far. First of all, this project helped me step out of my comfort zone which I believe is the key goal of any such program. Besides that, during it I had the opportunity to meet new people from all over Europe, as well as from my own country. Having the opportunity to meet new ones and reconnect with some older ones, I think that I got new friends that will last a lifetime.
After all, Vienna left a huge impression on me, as the city but as a setting for an unforgettable experience, too. It’s an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world!“– Naira Džepar
“My time at the “Shall We Dance?” Youth Exchange was a once in a lifetime kind of event. The program brought together participants from various cultures, allowing us to dive deep into Vienna’s vibrant atmosphere and well appreciated culture that provided the perfect backdrop for these cultural exchanges. Through workshops and performances, we experienced firsthand the beauty of diverse traditions through folk dances of participating countries, making it very easy to connect with others while it was very fun and enjoyable! The connections I made with my team and others were quite meaningful to me, deepening them while sharing our perspectives and stories! I’ve left Vienna with gratitude for the organization, unforgettable memories, experiences and new friendship!“ – Alma Kunovac
