What were the biggest learning moments of the event for you?

Jannar Laar – There wasn´t like the biggest learning moment, but i learned something new in all the activities and i really enjoyed being part of the project.
Anna-Luisa Lekštedt – Few workshops and long conversations with people from other countries.
Merily Kihuoja – Activity where we heard about the organization of democracy in the other countries. Finding a common language and communicating with young people.
Miina Mi Lind – Culture and democracy of other countries.
Do you have any plans to continue being active in the field? If yes, in which way?
Natalie Li Lind – I am already active in the field and I will stay. I will continue sharing information about Erasmus+ projects and the values in shares to young people.
Jannar Laar – Yes, i would like to continue taking part in the projects in future!
Anna-Luisa Lekštedt – yes, I plan to learn more about Erasmus+ so I could share the information with people I work and study youth work with.
Merily Kihuoja – I would love to go to a training course that would also be about art or democracy. Erasmus and these topics would help me in my everyday work and I could give so much information to my customers.
Miina Mi Lind – Yes, I will spread the word about democracy.
Would you recommend this experience to your friends? If yes, why? If no, why not?
Natalie Li Lind – Absolutely. It will broaden your perspectives; you will gain a lot of contacts from other countries and get knowledge about important topics.
Jannar Laar – Yes, because you can learn so much new and experience things that you never had experienced before, meet and get to know amazing people.
Anna-Luisa Lekštedt – Yes, but the younger ones. As it was my first youth exchange, I personally would stick to youth worker mobilities, as i feel I can grow more in my profession that way
Merily Kihuoja – Yes i would, it opens your eyes, and you get so much information about other Erasmus projeckts. You get to see Word and find friends for life.
Miina Mi Lind – Yes, it is a new experience, and it is good for young people to have knowledge about different topics.
