Efforts to listen, understand and tolerate - essential values in a world where multiculturalism is increasingly present

From 24^th of July to the 31^st of August we took part of a Youth Exchange in Nistru with  groups of young people from different countries. There we participated to the project « EqualityIsFor Everyone » with 24 youngs aged 13 to 21 from  Macedonian, Spanish, Romanian and Finnish.

Gathered around the theme of equality and equity, we spent seven days together. The program was full of interesting and original activities (creative workshops, debates, role plays , cultural evenings, etc.), in a fantastic atmosphere and rich in our cultural diversity. Young Europeans also visited symbolic place such as the Communist Memorial in Sighetu Marmatiei.

Two flights twelve hours in train and here I am

Two flights twelve hours in train and here I am in Baia Mare for ten months of volunteering.

 I’m a Tunisian girl coming from very different culture, traditional and for sure very different weather looking for a new experience. Cascada Cailor descent the river was one of this experience suspense than a lot of fear Adrenaline but amazing experience yes it was only for fez hours but with huge impact on me. Yes I was afraid maybe I cried a little bit but I did it, it wasn’t perfect and there isn’t such thing called perfection. I faced my fear, I finished all the way down it was hard but I did it I had the courage the strength to believe in myself.  I’m so proud of me, more confident and for sure I will do it again. Also the school started now I’m looking forward to work with them and to bring a smile to their life and to help them to have a better future.
