‘’Being able to take part in the Erasmus+ training course “Green Europe” and spend 10 days in France with my peers was an experience I will foster throughout my personal and professional endeavors. Together with young people from around the world, we came up with different solutions on how to “green” our homes, and surroundings and how to encourage others around us to join us on the quest for a better tomorrow. Throughout interactive workshops, we were able to find out bits and pieces about every single one of us, discover both our strengths and weaknesses, and combine them all to provide the best solution possible. We were able to reflect on our habits and behaviors that we would like to change to make our living and working spaces more sustainable. One aspect that I loved about the training was that we had the opportunity to speak freely about things that were bothering us during teamwork, and how could we solve them in future instances. On the other hand, learning about the classification of different kinds of plastics made me realize how much our country still lacks and how much space there is for improvement. I could not recommend Erasmus+ programs enough, as I believe it is truly something every student should experience in their life.’’ – Olja Beader
