Together we are stronger

The training course really tought us a lot about how to cooperate and function as a team even in bad conditions, so we would be able to apply these skills in our future life. We learned that the motto „If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.“ means a lot when you´re thinking about your goals and how important is to never forget that. During our project we were part of amazing group of people from around the Europe and had the sweetest project organizer ever (Vasilis you´re the best!). We have to thank you for providing us with such a wonderful chance, and we sincerely hope that we will cross paths again soon.

Now few words from participant Andrej. This project for me was for sure one of the best in my entire life if not the best I´ve ever participated. From trainers through accomondation, food, workshops and trips everything had it´s charm. We have been accomondated in beautiful journalist village full of lovely bushes full of flowers on the coast of Perivolia village. Just few minutes from the beach with beautiful sunrise. Trainers and the speakers they invited gave us a lot of usefull knowledge and skills that we all would use in life. Through the trips the the capital Niccosia and Larnaca we learned important lesson from history and culture. Since then we know even better that communication is really important for the growth. Together we are stronger.
