Six days together have to start somewhere… and ours started with a lot of new names. 😄

We kicked off our training in Jahodná by getting to know each other, breaking the ice, and creating a space where everyone could feel comfortable joining in. 🤝

Through different activities and conversations, we slowly went from being a group of people who had just met to people who were ready to learn, share ideas, and work together. And yes, remembering everyone’s name was part of the challenge. 👀

It might seem like the easy part of a training, but creating a good atmosphere from the beginning changes everything that comes afterwards. When people feel comfortable, they’re much more willing to speak up, try something new, and even make mistakes. 💬

Day 1 gave us exactly that starting point and plenty of curiosity for what was coming next. 🌿

👉 Follow us and spend the six training days in Jahodná with us!

🌿 ZenZone Diary – DAY 7 🌿
✨ A diary written by our participants ✨

Sunday started with a session about the last type of rest – sensory rest. We spent it outside, in nature, reflecting and quieting our senses. We also got the chance to make our own essential oil blends to remind us of the project.

The afternoon was spent saying goodbye. We revealed our secret friends, received our Youthpass certificates, and enjoyed the last true session together.

In the evening, we had a campfire and spent our last moments together, enjoying each other’s company and looking back on the beautiful week we shared.

A beautiful ending to an unforgettable experience. 🌿💚✨

📱 Your feed isn’t just something you scroll through. It can quietly shape what you see as normal, attractive, successful, or “good enough.” 👀

When the same bodies, lifestyles, relationships, and picture-perfect moments appear again and again, comparison can happen without us even noticing. So here’s a small experiment: check your feed. Notice which accounts leave you feeling inspired or comfortable and which ones regularly make you question yourself. 🤔

Mute, unfollow, or replace 3 accounts, then pay attention to how scrolling makes you feel over the next week. 💭

You can’t control everything you see online, but you can be more intentional about what gets your attention! 💪

✨ If you discovered the accounts you follow today, would you still choose to follow them?

🌿 ZenZone Diary – DAY 6 🌿
✨ A diary written by our participants ✨

We started the day by choosing a card and describing what our favourite type of rest was. Ema and Janka then explained the program for our visit to Košice.

After this, we could start our activities. After a brief energizer, we began learning about social rest, which can be summarized as having meaningful connections with people. We used Ikigai, an activity meant to connect what you love, what you`re good at, what you can get paid for, and what your world needs.

After the coffee break, we proceeded with watching the Reel videos every national team had made about the project.

After lunch, we all took the bus together to Košice. There, we did a tour of the city, and after that, we had a free afternoon. Everyone did whatever they wanted, mainly checking out shops, important buildings and various breweries. 💚✨

✨ Youthcracy — an unforgettable Erasmus+ experience in Belgium!

From 17–26 July, six young people from Slovakia joined participants from across Europe 🌍 in the beautiful village of Botassart to explore democracy, elections, voting systems, and parliaments. They took part in interesting activities like:

🗳️ Interactive elections & simulations
🏛️ Parliamentary and court sessions
💬 Discussions about democracy & active citizenship
🥾 Exploring Botassart, Bouillon, Brussels & Luxembourg

One of the most exciting parts was experiencing three different elections, with the government changing each time! 🗳️ This made us see how decisions, leadership, and voting can shape a democratic society.

Beyond the programme, we shared countless laughs, conversations, sports, music, and unforgettable moments together. ❤️

We came home with a deeper understanding of democracy, new skills, amazing memories, and friendships that crossed borders. 🌍✨

🌿 ZenZone Diary – DAY 5 🌿
✨ A diary written by our participants ✨

We started our fifth day with a creative reflection activity. We were given artistic cards, and each of us chose a card that represented what we were most looking forward to that day. It was a simple but thoughtful way to set an intention for the day and reflect on what we hoped to experience.

We then started with a fun energizer, where we stood in a circle and carefully sat on the knees of the person behind us. Once everyone was seated, we had to take several steps together while maintaining the circle, which turned into a lot of laughter and required quite a bit of trust and coordination.

Next, we divided into six groups and each group received a different situation to turn into a short scene. The topics included creative block, notification overload, being overwhelmed by responsibilities, not knowing how or when to rest, and being unable to fully appreciate a beautiful place because of our phones. First, we acted out only the problems while the rest of the group tried to guess what each scene represented. We then performed the scenes again, but this time anyone from the audience could shout “REST!” at any moment and suggest a solution. It was a fun and interactive way to look at some very relatable challenges.

We then continued in our native-language groups with a creative challenge: creating our own Reel. We could choose any format we wanted, from a vlog to an educational video, and continued working on our ideas even after lunch.

In the afternoon, we learned more about mental and creative rest and explored how creativity itself can become a way of slowing down and recharging. We could choose between making glasses or vases from recycled wine bottles, lino printing on T-shirts, creating things from recycled materials, or simply painting and colouring. The atmosphere became very relaxed as everyone could choose their own way to be creative and enjoy the process without focusing on the result.

It was a day full of laughter, creativity, trust, and reflection. 💚✨

🌿✨ Reconnection to the Basics — a week in Latvia that reminded us of something simple but important: before we can support others, we need to take care of ourselves.

From 19–26 July, youth workers and mentors from across Europe 🌍 came together to reconnect with themselves, nature, and each other through non-formal education.

This training gave us space to pause, reflect, and notice what we want to bring back into our everyday life. We came home with new motivation to keep learning, work on ourselves, and share what we have learned with others. 💚

Grateful for the amazing people, organisers, and safe space that made this experience so meaningful.
