Our brand-new youth exchange has started! We welcomed 21 motivated young individuals from Hungary, Slovakia, Turkey, and Romania. The first day was all about getting to know each other and the team-building activities. Unfortunately, once again it was proven that memorizing names can be challenging. But nothing is impossible! It just takes time and practice. And there is no time like the International Snack Evening to practice them. We closed the first day with some food from all around the world and some casual chit-chat.
The learning, studying, and working started on the second day. Participants shared a little about their local communities and what they feel could be improved at home. This shared information is the base of the program. We want all participants to have an idea, a goal in mind, that they want to realize in their communities when they go home. They have a chance to learn about what a community is, how it functions, how they can write down their ideas, how they can talk about them, promote them, and many many more.
As the big final showdown, the participants will have to put their newly acquired knowledge to the test. They were busy today preparing an event for the locals of Cristuru Secuiesc. They are organizing a kids’ science day in the association’s backyard, for elementary school children. We are very much looking forward to see how the smiles light up those little faces.
