From the 12th to 18th of January 2026, Cristuru Secuiesc, Romania, became a meeting point for people from across Europe during the Transnational Bootcamp #2, part of the RYSE project.

Gathering 36 youngsters and 6 youth leaders from France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Portugal, and Romania, the bootcamp created a space for sharing micro-projects, ideas, and lived experiences. Together, participants explored how local initiatives can generate wider impact, particularly in the areas of sustainable development and youth empowerment.

Through Digital Storytelling, participants transformed their projects and personal journeys into meaningful narratives, giving voice to their experiences and highlighting the value of collaboration and active citizenship.

Led by Le Partenariat (France) and supported by partners from Italy (CEFA ETS), Hungary  (Anthropolis), Spain (Jovesolides), Portugal (Aventura Marão Clube), and Romania  (Asociația de Tineri din Ardeal), RYSE aims to strengthen young people’s employability while deepening their understanding of today’s social, environmental, and ecological challenges.

More than a training, the bootcamp was a shared journey of connection, creativity, and inspiration, carried forward by participants into their local communities.
