Hola, Amigosss! We are group of Spanish people who decided to go to Bulgaria but not for a holiday..we went on a youth exchange. And we did it for free-YES, youth exchange is part of Erasmus plus program-the program of the European Commission for education, youth and sport. So the Erasmus+ program givess amazing opportunities for us young people to travel, improve our skills, grow, learn and be active. During the project in Bulgaria we also learnt so many things about the topic, but in an interesting, interactive and engaging way-learning has never been funnier and easier believe us! We talked about radicalization- factors that lead to it, social exclusion of youth nowadays but also what we ourselves can do about it!
We learnt many tools how we can raise awareness on those topics and some of us even got involved in developing ideas for youth exchanges! The project really gave a lot to our group-in terms of learning, skills and knowledge on the topic, but also intercultural experience, friendships and empowerment!After the project we believe we are more cautious about those topics, feel more personally engaged, more aware and ready to do steps to help others, to prevent radicalization and most of all not be passive because we young people are very important part of the civil society!
