HOW! Youth Exchange in Petrich
Robert, Hungary, Age 22Between March 22nd and March 31st, I was in Bulgaria with some youngsters participated in an Erasmus+ youth exchange project. During the program days we were discussing, brainstorming, and evaluating with interactive methods the topic of “work and jobs of young people” which is a very important issue for all of us. In addition, we built a new community and good friendships between the participants.
At the end of March, I was a part of a miracle, it was not just because supporting the youth group, but it was fruitful personally for me, too. I must be grateful for the Youth of Europe Association and The Change is in You organization provided me a chance to make myself better. The youth exchange which was organized in the city of Petrich gave us an opportunity to experience the beauty of this land, make friendships and meet with different cultures, which were the main part of the evening sessions.
The period, what I spent there supported me in my work, improved my personality, revealed the areas what I must increase, contributed to see the world across different glasses and make a chance to connect to people who suffer with the same problems day by day. During the activities and I became one of the members of this community, where I could make mistakes bravely and gave something special of me with pleasure.
I would like to say many thanks to the people, who offered me the opportunity of this "travel". Since the returning I am trying to show to the youngsters (I am working with) that feeling what I experienced during those days and sharing with them the essentials and benefits of being a member of an international family.
