This was a training course that I've been waiting for a long time. It is great fun to get locked up for 60 minutes trying to get out and working as a team.

Reviews of local/international projects
Once upon a time there was a youth exchange from 5th to 13th of August in the Norwegian forest. The project brought together five different countries.
On a beautiful summer day in Estonia my friend told me about the Erasmus+ project in Turkey, Trabzon. After some research and filling in the documents I was selected as participant of this project.
In the middle of August I packed my baggage and flew away from the homeland. The country I was heading to was Georgia and the reason was a project!
The last two months were pretty intense, full of activities, thoughts and emotional rollercoasters. I’ve learnt how to adapt myself to local reality and take things easier.
Outdoor projects are always different, because the feelings you get helping each other under the burning sun or in the cold night give you learning moments that can’t gained as easily in a comfy urban project.
During the week the participants prepared performances, workshops with kids and local communities and participated in many creative activities.
"This youth exchange in Turkey helped me a lot in improving my knowledge about different cultures and dealing with the cultural differences."
I was sure the participants would be super-ready for this kind of outdoor challenges. But in reality we were not, and that made this Project more powerful!
It was an ordinary day in our urban anthill. Some people were rushing to start their routine workday, others were staying in endless traffic jams...
