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

Marta Blomerius - One of the biggest learning moments for me was realizing that it’s completely okay to be yourself—and that people should accept you as you are. The people I met during this experience really helped me understand the importance of authenticity and acceptance, and I’m genuinely grateful for that.

Sofiia Alieinik - The parliament sessions.

Elina Varest - How to show the same information from different political parties.

Kerli-Josefin Järvoja - The system that affects democracy and that it is very important to have an opinion and make your voice count.

Aleksei Kurõljov - I would say the biggest discovery for me was the overall position of youth regarding world politics and economy. It is great to know that youth is interested and are trying to stay open minded and learn more.

Do you have any plans to continue being active in the field? If yes, in which way?

Marta Blomerius - I’m not entirely sure yet, but this project definitely sparked my interest and helped me gain a deeper understanding of the topic. I’d love to explore more opportunities in this field in the future and continue learning and contributing in meaningful ways.

Sofiia Alieinik - Yes, it is the life going field that connects to all aspects of being a citizen.

Elina Varest - I would love to know more about geopolitics.

Kerli-Josefin Järvoja - Yes. I would love to volunteer and participate in those youth programs more.

Aleksei Kurõljov - I believe Erasmus+ offers a unique perspective an opportunity for self-growth and improvement.

Would you recommend this experience to your friends? If yes, why? If no, why not?

Marta Blomerius - Absolutely, I would! This was an incredible experience that I truly loved. The friendships you form, the knowledge you gain, and the atmosphere you’re part of make it something really special. It’s not just about what you learn—it’s about being part of something that inspires you and helps you grow from the very beginning.

Sofiia Alieinik - I would reccomend it because it was an amazing experience.

Elina Varest - Yes, because all workshops were useful and informative. The plan of the project was also amazing.

Kerli-Josefin Järvoja - Yes. It was an amazing experience that made me smarter and boardened my perspectives.

Aleksei Kurõljov - I definitely recommend everyone to give it a go - whether you are already curious about Erasmus+ or heard about it for the first. I am yet to encounter people that regret their participation.

Other comments or anything else you would like to share? You can answer in your mother tongue, if you want!
