If you never tried Erasmus plus youth exchange-go for it! You will meet amazing people, learn so many things in a just a week, will experience, taste and feel new cultures and will the best experience of your lives!
We are Salome, Ana, Giorgi, Mari, Tamar, Keti and Natia from Georgia who took part in youth exchange Sport against violence and cyber bullying that was in Bansko, Bulgaria where we met other super cool people from Bulgaria, Italy, Romania, UK and Spain. For most of us it was first time such experiences as from Georgia we do not get to travel so easily and also because of Covid. It was amazing what energy this project had-we felt enlightened! We all from so many different cultures, countries, religions, beliefs, managed to create something so meaningful and learn from each other.
After the project we came to our sending organization DRONI to help /us organize workshop and sport activities in a local school-we wanted to inspire other young people to do more sports, get away from the digital stuff , to meet with other people and enjoy being outdoors because it gives you energy, happiness, makes your body and mid fit and healthy. Salome and Ana prepared short intro about the project with photos and videos from the exchange, sharing our experience from activities and intercultural evenings. We had so much fun but we also talked about serious issues such as xenophobia, stereotypes, hate speech, hate crimes and about realities in Georgia. We had about 25 students attending our online meeting. They got really interested in Erasmus plus and we invited them in the DRONI office to get to know more about how they can take part in such activities.
