The village of Belchin, Bulgaria, became a vibrant hub for passionate young changemakers from Armenia, 🇦🇲 Bulgaria, 🇧🇬 Romania, 🇷🇴 Serbia, 🇷🇸 Ukraine, 🇺🇦 Iraq, 🇮🇶 Morocco, 🇲🇦 Moldova, 🇲🇩 Czechia, 🇨🇿 and Syria. 🇸🇾

Through interactive workshops and nature-based activities, Intercultural Football Fair Play Match and sports activities our diverse group explored crucial topics:
⚽️ Inclusion & Diversity 🤝
🏀 Social Cohesion & Integration 🌍
🏐 Civic engagement and leadership
🥎 Eco-Friendly Practices & Sustainability 🌱

Participants shared their unique cultures, broke down barriers, and built the skills needed to drive meaningful action back home. While our “roots” may differ, our “routes” toward solidarity and empathy bring us together!

This exchange was organised by the International Foundation for Y-PEER Development (IFYD) from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, and in partnership with our great partners from from Romania 🇷🇴 and .ngo from Serbia 🇷🇸.

Grateful for being part of this youth space renovation : a former school given new life has been a heartwarming experience we’ve shared as volunteers from and .

From the moment we arrived, the village wrapped us in its warmth.
The friendly stray 🐕 greeting us and guiding us to the kind locals who welcomed us like old friends leading us to the building, standing quietly beside a beautiful old Orthodox Church. ⛪️

We rolled up our sleeves, learned the simple yet satisfying art of filling holes with concrete, and left a small piece of ourselves in these walls.

Then came the pleasure to be invited to a table full of traditional Bulgarian food, shared in a true family atmosphere.
History, community, and hope all sitting at the same table. 🍽️

Debro, the heart behind this project, inherited this place from his grandfather, the school’s former director and he’s making this space something special: a future home for young people, rooted in memory and built with love.

As IFYD and PFE teams, we thank him for having our volunteers, , and who are looking forward to return, and soon, to celebrate with music the promising future this project carries 🎶

Our European Solidarity Corps volunteer, from recently engaged with the volunteers of at Saint Ivan Rilski High School in Sofia, sparking a vital dialogue on the fragile line between free speech and hate speech. 🗯️

During the session, about 20 students explored how respectful communication and inclusion are the solid foundation of safer, more harmonious communities.

Ultimately, we learned that words, our most powerful tool in society as it holds the power to either fracture our world or weave it together.

Thank you to all the participant presence, engagement and openness ✨

Such activities definitely help create safer, more inclusive, and more respectful communities.🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

As part of our youth exchange activities, participants experienced an inspiring journey through nature, exploring the values of environmental education and sustainability 🌱🌍

Through nature based activities, young people connected with the environment, strengthened teamwork and communication, and discovered new ways to reflect, learn, and grow together 💚

The experience was filled with meaningful moments, cultural exchange, positive energy, and unforgettable memories that brought learning and nature together ✨

Roots To Routes is more than a youth exchange — it is a space for connection, empowerment, and creating a greener and more sustainable future for all 🌏

🇪🇺 Happy Europe Day! 💙

Young people play an important role in building inclusive communities, spreading positive change, and inspiring hope for tomorrow. Let’s continue learning from each other, supporting one another, and raising our voices for a better and more connected world. 🤝💫

On World Press Freedom Day, we highlight the collective effort behind protecting the right to information.

Organizations, associations, and especially young volunteers are at the forefront of promoting transparency, supporting ethical journalism, and creating spaces where voices can be heard freely. Their work often behind the scenes strengthens communities and builds trust.

Press freedom is not only about journalists; it’s about all of us who choose to engage, support, and take part in shaping an open and informed society.

On this International Workers’ Day, we recognize the essential role that workers play in shaping our societies and driving progress forward.

Every profession, every effort, and every contribution matters. From those on the front lines to those working behind the scenes, it is the collective dedication of workers that builds stronger communities and creates lasting impact.

Today is not only a celebration, but also a reminder of the importance of fairness, dignity, and opportunity in every workplace.

We stand in appreciation of all workers and reaffirm the importance of supporting safe, inclusive, and respectful working environments for all.

Happy Labour Day 🧡
