The exchange...



From 7 to 13 July, there had an exchange “Young people to the fore” in our place of living Borgomanero. 60 young people from 9 European countries (Holland, Romania, Estonia, Finland, UK, Hungary, Spain, Portugal and of course the host Italy!!!) arrived to take part in this big event.
With Lucie had the chance to be part of the Italian group, so with us the involved countries were 11, cause there had no groups from France and Bulgaria.
During the project there had a lot of activities and the organization was really on very high level
( I’ve got experience in more than 10 international events, so already could do some assess:)
In the mornings there were the workshops on the topic of the exchange, where the young people could share their opinion, feelings and personal experience on the youth participation. In the afternoons there were trips and free time activities.
In the evenings were the space for more non formal communication, games, intercultural presentation and interpersonal approach, music, dances, beer and laugh :)
In the end of the exchange there was a big presentation on the main square of the city with all the works done during the exchange- theatre, music performance, photo exhibition, youth information research, video clip and like always games, smiled faces and good mood!!
It was strange feeling when it was the intercultural evening. The presentation of Italy was just one song “Bella ciao” but after that passionate performance ( 2 of the Italian boys- Luca and Gila are musicians) it became like the song of our exchange and all sang it everyday. At the moment like this one part of me felt like real Italian….
During the exchange I met really very interesting personalities (unfortunately it’s quite hard to get to know all the 60 people) and I’ve made really nice friendships with some of them!!!
It was pleasure to share that week with all that different, young, open minded, full with energy and some little bit crazy people!!! You are great, guys!!!
Now the moment to say Thanks. First to Mara ( you are incredible!!!), Paulo, Manuel and Francesca!
My very veryyyyy special thanks to Zack and Tina!!! I love you!!! ( still think about yr proposal Zack and for sure will come on yr wedding Tina, wanna see you in white and happy :)

That’s all, the end of one nice week but the beginning of a lot of new ones!!!
For sure we’ll meet again with some of you, just still don’t know when and where:))

Ci vediamo in giro!!!

Tzveta
