We decided to organize something unconventional – i.e. only a weekend event, in
Slovakia, in Slovak and for Slovaks on the topic of social entrepreneurship. We
chose the village of Spišský Hrušov as the place and combined it with a hike in
the Slovak Paradise, a walk to the ruins of the church of the village of Miloj
and a barbecue…
When I was talking to a friend one afternoon, he recommended to me that
I should try the Youth Exchange. He said that I will meet great people, see new
countries and cultures and we will have a lot of fun and so it happened.
When I learned i was chosen for this project I was very excited, it was my
first project. Thanks to this project, I had the opportunity to fly an airplane
for the first time. I was also a little scared because my English was not good.
I admit that when I first read the HEY – Herritage of European Youth infopack,
I was quite considering whether to apply. The exchange took place in a small
Portuguese village with 2,500 inhabitants and an average age of 65 years. We were
supposed to be accommodated in tents and I also did not have high expectations
from the program. In the end, I still decided to apply and I was lucky enough to
take part in this, as it turned out, amazing project.
One month in Greece passed like water thanks to good company and nice weather.
I never expected to swim in sea at the end of November. The aim of the whole
volunteering was to build an Optimist type sailboat from plastic bottles.
Over the past year, 236 people have had the opportunity to participate on 56 exchanges and trainings in 24 countries, and 12 volunteers in 7 countries have started their volunteer project. In addition, we were involved in many other local activities and projects during the year!
Since several of you said that you like ADEL T-shirts, now you can have them. We made them more, just with the logo on the back compared to the original model. In addition to ADEL T-shirts, we decided to make a little more unusual T-shirts, which will also spread a certain “message” – in this case, the need to behave more environmentally friendly, as this topic bothers us a lot.
We have available also bags.
