    Youth Exchange Testimonials

    Meeting other cultures for me earlier would mean a challenge, but now I crave a lot for similar projects and activities. Thanks to this experience, I am convinced that every cultural exchange contributes to the creation of constructive dialogue without prejudices.

    During my participation in the project, everyone talked about stereotypes and prejudices that come in their way when meeting people from different places. That was one of the reasons we became really close. I believe that the youth in the Western Balkan region are really nice and friendly.

    Gordana Petkovska RYCO Youth Exchange Participant
    I was convinced that people in the region of the Western Balkans, in addition to the similarities in culture and the way of thinking, have also similar and common challenges. The latter made me realise that you cannot actually find separate solutions. Everyone in the region, especially youth, must cooperate to tackle these challenges together.
