I would recommend this experience to everyone who wants to broaden their horizons. (Italy)

Iva: This is my first Erasmus + project and it definitely lived up to my expectations. During the week here I learned a lot: about migration, about refugees and asylum seekers, including unknown to me until now terms like entrepreneur and many more. But I am not taking home just this academical knowledge, here I learned lots of things about myself, made new friends and lots of memories. (Bulgaria)

Elizabeth: I chose to look at this program from a different prospective, it was educational, but it also was an experience that I will never forget. The people I met here  successfully influenced on my character. I’m going home not as myself but as all the positive feeling I encountered, i’m going home as happiness and love. (United Kingdom)

Sixtine :It’s the first time adventure for me to be part of an Erasmus project. I came here without knowing any situation about refugee crisis or immigrants. I already knew there are poor and bad conditioned people but it’s first time that I realize that I’m not the the worst one. I learned everything here like words in English:) so I can speak and create ideas anymore… I learned that I can help by making little actions. (Portugal)

Juuli: The words come to my mind from youth exchange are: Intercultural communication, different countries situations, different energizers, fragment of new languages, realities: it was a purpose of the project I believe. All experience was inspirational, warm, welcoming, fun.( Portugal)

Dimitris: it has been an amazing intercultural experience for me. I’ve met all these amazing people, bonded with them and shared this project with them. I learned a lot about different cultures and habits and gained a lot of empathy as well as viewed the world from a different perspective. It has been awesome!!! (Greece)

Antonios: this is my first Erasmus+ program and I really love it. It is been such a pleasure to be here and meet all of those wonderful people and exchange knowledge, experiences and cultures. Also we learned the problems that the refugees face and we discussed on this topic. We also exchanged a lot of opinions on the topic and it was really good to see each other’s opinions. Lastly we are leaving this place with a lot of awesome memories!!!!! (Greece)

Burak: There are so many people and experience so I felt that my sense of empathy improved so much. Before coming here I had a common sense of world’s problems but it’s fist time in my whole life, I thought deeply about refugee crisis and what people exactly feel. It was so fun and I’ll miss people I’ve met here. (Turkey)

Ahmet: This was a very fruitfull program in terms of getting to know the refugee situation around the world and having some insight onto it. I learned about various other cultures and languages. Beside that I had a great experience, made wonderful friends and had a lot of fun. So I would say it was the perfect mix of self development and entertainment.(Turkey)
