It was a great project, but

don’t just take our word for it

"Making Change When Change Is Hard". What a great experience this project was for me! I have to admit that I initially applied for this exchage while having zero knowledge on the topic. Now, I can say that even though I'm not a pro in politics, at least I know the basics and I can maintain meaningful conversations especially nowadays with our political situation. However, this project not only helped me improve my knowledge and communication skills, but it also brought some people into my life that I am grateful for knowing. For me, this experience was like a breath of fresh air, where I felt like I belong to a community where everyone is safe and encouraged to speak their mind and share their ideas with the group without feeling judged in any way. I enjoyed every second spent there with those people and I can admit that nostalgia hits me each time I look back to those days spent there. This youth exchange has a very special place in my heart and I will always be grateful to GGS for choosing me to be a part of this awesome jurney.

“Making Change When Change is Hard”. It was an amazing project. At first, I was scared to join a project about politics, because I didn't really know nothing about it. And it was my first project too. But coming to this project was the best decision I ever made. Not only I learnt a lot about politics, I learnt how to speak English better, met new amazing people and made life lasting best friends. The organizers were very nice and friendly. I'm very happy that I could participate in this journey. Thank you that GGS for choosing me as one of the participants. This project will always have a place in my heart.
