EXPERIENCE DURING “RURAL EXCHANGE”, 5TH – 13TH MAY, 2017 @ TRYSIL (NORWAY)
“For the training course “Rural Exchange: Supporting Youth Leaders”, youth leaders and youth workers from Norway, Denmark, Spain, Estonia, Italy and Cyprus came together to Trysil in Norway to work on the topic of youth in rural areas. To learn about rural areas and discover their possibilities and potential was one important part of the TC in order to develop future activities and youth exchanges for youngsters connected to this topic. The diverse group with different cultural heritage gave a lot of input and ideas for the project. We shared a lot of knowledge and passions. Besides the very productive work on the follow up activities we had the chance to learn from each other also about things we like to do in our free time which end up in small workshops such as Spanish dance, juggling, meditation in cold rivers and storytelling. New friends were made and the network expended, we had a great time and I can’t wait for our own projects to be implemented.”

“A few weeks ago I had a GREAT opportunity to take a part in training course in Trysil. That was my first training course experience and I totally enjoyed it. Everything was great: the place, the atmosphere, the program, the organization part… I met many open-minded people there and we learned together and from each other, we had a lot of discussions about rural areas, defining a problems and looking for solutions and as a result we got few new project. Being such multicultural team gave opportunity to learn more about cultural heritage of people and to share own traditions, we had a lot of fun during the free time. Exploring local realities inspired for new ideas and gave more clear vision of topic. Staying in Trysil and being away from cities and having 24/7 of fresh air, amazing nature and plenty of activities had a great influence for me. Definitely want to repeat it! (:”
