From 30th of January till 10th of February our Estonian team of 8 people had their adventure on the youth exchange project “Run and explore”, which was help in wonderful Ordu, Turkey. International group with young people from Turkey, Netherlands, Azerbaijan and Estonia was gathered together to experience more about active and healthy lifestyle, orienteering and region exploring.
Here is some feedback from some of our team.
At first, I was very skeptic about this project; because I’m bad with locations, maps and I don’t do sports on daily basis, but in the end it was a great experience and I actually loved all the activities and especially orienteering itself. But more of everything I loved the people, for 10 days we became one big, international family, which still warms my heart, just by remembering them.

I have to begin with the amazing work that was done by the organizations and group leaders, everything was in order and we had our time managed flexibly. Of course, i really liked the diversity of days, every day we learnt something new and astonishing. My favorite part of course was the sports, because that was the main event, the instructors were true professionals and everyone learned through their words. In the end, all that matters was that everyone got along with each other; we got to know about different aspects of Turkish culture, sports, cuisine and found a new family. I will be remembering this project till the end of days.
