Taking part in the European Youth Exchange
Andriani, Cyprus, Age 26Taking part in the European Youth Exchange in Brussels with the YouthWell project wasn’t just a trip—it was a turning point. Surrounded by passionate young voices from across Europe, I realized the power of shared ideas, cultural exchange, and youth-driven change. For the first time, I felt like part of something bigger—a movement that listens, learns, and leads together.
Recently, I had the amazing opportunity to take part in a 3-day youth exchange programme in Brussels, Belgium. Through this experience, I had the chance to connect, engage, and network with incredible young people, exchange ideas, and discuss the challenges we face in our communities. It was also a lot of fun — from creating blackout poetry and playing human bingo to taking part in a European Parliament simulation game and exploring the House of European History. This was truly one of the most memorable and rewarding volunteering experiences I’ve had so far. And of course — Belgian waffles really are the best! Grateful for initiatives that empower and bring young people together across borders.
