“Project YOU” was a youth exchange that was held from the 11th until the 19th of May 2022, in the beautiful forest of Taevaskoja, Estonia.
31 amazing participants from Spain, Hungary, Macedonia, Turkey, Estonia and Poland from the age of 24-30 got to learn about crucial self development skills in today’s society that will be beneficial both for our personal and professional lives. All of the activities were done in a multicultural environment which helped strengthen the participants’ communication and cooperation skills.
The project was mainly focused on the importance of any individuals’ well being, and how to stay in a good mental and physical shape. During our stay we were given the task to track our habits, and see how/if we can control them and maybe even kick some that we don’t like. The participants had the opportunity to make their own workshops during the project, to practice their organization, management and public speaking skills.
Like every other project, it finished super fast and nobody was very happy about leaving, but little did anyone know, the project had just begun. Taking such an approach to a youth exchange was brilliant from the side of the organizers.
