A international youth exchange took place and was attended by 33 young people and 10 youth leaders. Participants came from Slovenia, Croatia, Germany and Great Britain. Young migrants and refugees were also among the participants. The theme of this exchange was directed at the stories.

Contact lead organisation

The purpose of the exchange was to enable quality holidays, where they could come into genuine contact with themselves and with others. Together, they created an intercultural environment in which everyone had the opportunity to talk openly about their personal challenges

Young people came into an intercultural environment that allowed them to meet new people, learn, create and create new friendships.

Eu program

I heard that there were volunteers as well as minor refugees and asylum seekers among the participants, which I thought was a good opportunity to meet new people, but I was not entirely sure of what to expect. In the end, it turned out to be an invaluable experience for me. I feel like I've gone through a lot of personality change, I've had a different view of the world since then and I see things more broadly.
