”My experience in Romania was something I would repeat over and over again. The people, the ambiance, the location – everything was combined perfectly, creating this energy that I carried all the way to Bosnia with me. The topic of the training course was related to personal development and self-improvement, and as a future psychologist and mental health worker, this meant a lot to me for many different reasons. I got a glimpse of what it’s like to be a therapist through workshops that we held with local teenagers and neurodivergent kids. Both experiences really proved to me that I chose the right degree to study, starting in October this year. Moreover, the skills and knowledge on mindfulness, grounding yourself, and being present at the moment are something that I will incorporate into my daily routine and share with others as well because they do work amazingly to control the tempo of the lives we are all living. Overall, the 9 days I spent in Romania were filled with fun, laughter, good food, and amazing people. From walking on the slack line, jumping into the hands of the rest of the team (trust-building exercise), to theoretical lectures, art therapy, and practical use of the knowledge, the program really brought out the best in me and pushed me to work on myself every day.” – Sara Humić
”The experience was nothing short of amazing. The project’s focus on personal development through coaching, nature-based learning, and art therapy truly resonated with me. Learning about different instruments for resilience and coping mechanisms was eye-opening. The workshops and activities helped me understand the importance of emotional intelligence and human connection in our lives. What I enjoyed the most was the profound sense of community that we cultivated. The breathtaking surroundings in Intorsura Buzaului, Covasna, Romania, added an extra layer of beauty to our journey. Connecting with fellow participants and sharing experiences from different backgrounds enriched the learning process. The memories and lessons from this journey will stay with me, driving me toward personal growth and positive change in my community.” – Erna Ibrahimbegović
”Participating in the ERASMUS+ program through BRAVO BiH and being hosted by 100% Playground has been an extraordinary journey that has left an indelible mark on both my personal and professional life. Reflecting on “The Little Prince – a Personal Journey” project, I am filled with gratitude for the transformative experience it has provided me. From the outset, the project’s objectives resonated deeply with my aspirations. As young people often face challenges stemming from a lack of emotional intelligence development and human connection, the project’s emphasis on resilience, coping mechanisms, and embracing change struck a chord within me. Under the guidance of BRAVO BiH and in collaboration with 100% Playground, I embarked on a profound exploration of personal growth and self-discovery. Through a meticulously curated blend of coaching, nature-based learning, and art therapy, I found myself delving into new territories of knowledge and self-awareness. The program exceeded my expectations in every way, equipping me with a diverse skill set to navigate life’s intricacies. The guidance of experienced mentors, the camaraderie of fellow participants, and the nurturing environment of 100% Playground all contributed to an enriching and immersive experience. One of the most profound aspects of this journey was the connections I forged with people from various corners of the globe. The diversity of perspectives, cultures, and experiences opened my mind and heart to new dimensions of understanding. The bonds I established during this program have become an invaluable network of support and inspiration, transcending geographical boundaries. Furthermore, the project’s emphasis on art therapy as a tool for addressing emotional challenges deeply resonated with me. The skills and techniques I acquired have not only enriched my personal life but have also found their way into my professional endeavors. As I integrate these insights into my work, I am better equipped to contribute meaningfully to my field and make a positive impact on the lives of others. The project’s impact will continue to ripple through my life for years to come, serving as a constant reminder of the boundless potential for growth and transformation that lies within us all. In closing, “The Little Prince – a Personal Journey” has indeed been a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and enlightenment. I am immensely thankful for the privilege to have participated in such a remarkable endeavor, and I eagerly anticipate the future chapters that will be shaped by the profound lessons and connections I gained.” – Kenan Junuzović
