Youth Exchange 2023

Planning visit:
As you know, for a proper exchange, you always need a well thought-out organization with detailed discussions about the activities that will take place during the summer. This took place from 21-24 April in Lunteren.

Attendees- participants, trainers and group leaders from the 3 countries gathered. From the Netherlands: Ina, Harry, Aafke, Zsuzsanna, Cilia, Florian, Mart and Sietse, from Hungary: Soma, Dalma and Rebeka, and from Romania: Betty and Rebeka.

On 21th April, afternoon, the attendees from Hungary and Romania arrived in Wildwal, Lunteren, where they were welcomed with a warm dinner. During that evening the catch up of the last years took place.

Next morning, the first meeting took place where each day of the program was discussed in detail. After that, we visited Amsterdam where we went to Body Worlds, the place we will also visit during the exchange. At the end of the day, we organized a BBQ during which we gathered some Dutch participants who will also join us in the summer.

The next meeting took place on Sunday morning. That day, we made the teams, we talked about the organization of each workshop, every team duty for the day, cleaning and helping in the kitchen, because a clean house is a happy house. Also, that day we visited the accommodation where we will stay in the summer and the surroundings, like the tower next to it.

Unfortunately, at the end, we all had to say “goodbye” and“ see you soon”, because the weekend  ended and everybody had to go back to their daily basis. The Hungarians and Romanians went back home by plane on Monday, April 24th, knowing that the exchange will be a success.

Project Description: The name of our project: European Youth for Environment Socialized (E.Y.E.S.).

The future of Europe and the future of the European community depends on young people, for this they must be given the right tools and skills to achieve sustainable development. Sustainable development is a development process that meets the needs of the present without compromising the opportunities of future generations. It is a new method of economic growth that builds on the realization of sustainability and conservation of natural resources.

In our project, the students of the 3 countries will learn about the opportunities that promote a healthy lifestyle and protect the environment and, above all, each other, within the framework of an exciting and varied program.

The program offers young people from different European countries with different backgrounds a good opportunity to get to know each other, discuss and discuss cultural differences, develop their creativity and independence, organize independent workshops, practice the English language and hopefully, to build long-lasting to form friendships.

The thirty-six people between the ages of 16 and 23 from the Netherlands, Székesfehérvár in Hungary and Szépkenyerűszentmárton in Romania have the opportunity to get to know each other, each other’s culture and views better through the programme. During the joint journey, we bring young people closer together through informal learning, role-playing, activation methods and team building.

These two weeks offer many fun programs in a very varied form. Welcome party, world coffee house, trip to Amsterdam and Walibi World, campfire, forest games, grill party, Brno, getting to know the beautiful Torockó and surroundings, hiking, walking in Cluj. Accommodation is in a nice scout center with free internet connection. From Putten about 6 km away in the woods.
