Youth- exchange in Italy

by Svenja

One week ago I went with a nice group of young people to the youth- exchange in Benestare, Italy. We met in Bratislava, took the flight from Vienna to Rome and after with the night train to the south of Italy, Calabria! Here the weather was so nice and we had a nice welcome with the italian participants. Right in the morning we also met the other participants from all around Europe: Estonia, Hugary and Czech Republic. It was a really nice atmosphere and through different art workshops about handcraft, european citizenship and tolerance all our people became closer and more opened. We organised international evenings where all groups could present their country, so we learned some important sentences in different languages and a lot of different dances. Our slovak group made a really nice presentation about slovak food and tounge twisters and also some workshops about handcraft in Slovakia.
In the end we grew to a big family and everybody was really sad when we had to leave. But we know:

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
