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.
At the beginning of March, thanks to ADEL, we were given the opportunity to travel to the capital of Georgia and take part in a 6-day youth exchange, the main topic of which was human rights. In Tbilisi, we met young people from the host country – Georgia and other Visegrad countries.
