Day 6 – 16.08 ✨ – Romanian flavors and a milestone!

A special day in Stara Zagora! 🇷🇴

We kicked off the morning testing our knowledge from yesterday's Polish cooking workshop, and also wrapped up our cooking guidebooks — a project we've been building since day one! You can check them out here, and they'll soon be featured on our website too: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AsUg0JMP_Q8VQ6UCMg7g0Rk4G2DTd5My

Then it was time to dive into Romanian cuisine and culture! We prepared Ardei Umpluți (stuffed peppers), Spumă de căpșuni (strawberry mousse), pies with cheese and cherries, Dracula potatoes, and eggplant salads 🍆🥧🍓

Every dish told a story — and today, Romania's story was delicious.

Day 5 – 15.08 ✨ – A taste of Poland!**

Another delicious day in Stara Zagora! 🇵🇱

We started the morning by testing our knowledge from yesterday's Slovak cooking workshop, putting what we learned into practice! Then it was time for Poland to take the stage: a presentation on Polish culture and history, and how centuries of tradition have shaped its cuisine.

The afternoon brought Polish flavors to life, from rich borscht to handmade pierogi, alongside cakes and so much more, all prepared together across our international stations 🥟🍲🍰

Once again, food became our window into a country's soul, its history, values and everyday life.

Day 4 – 14.08 ✨ – Slovak flavors take the spotlight!

Another full day in Stara Zagora! 🇧🇬

In the morning, we got to work on our cooking guidebooks for youth workers, finalizing the methodologies that will help facilitators run these workshops in the future 📖

In the afternoon, the Slovak team took the lead! Split into international teams across different stations, we prepared chicken breast baked with apricot, cheese and rice, cucumber salad, fried cheese with fries and tartar sauce for our vegetarian friends, and a delicious sour cream cake (smotanova torta) for dessert 🇸🇰🍰

The evening continued with Slovak culture in full swing, traditional dances, songs and games!

Day 3 – 13.08 ✨ – Discovering Stara Zagora

Today we swapped the kitchen for the city! 🏛️

Our "A Taste of Europe" group explored Stara Zagora — visiting local museums, wandering through the city centre, admiring the Roman forums, and stopping by historical monuments. Along the way, we chatted with locals, diving deeper into Bulgarian culture, history and everyday life 🇧🇬

A day of discovery, curiosity and connection beyond the cooking pot!

Day 2 12th August 2026
✨ – "A Taste of Europe" gets cooking!
Busy and delicious day in Stara Zagora! 🇧🇬
In the morning, national teams got to work finalizing the menu, workshop methodologies, ingredients and shopping lists — using a template that will grow into our very own Guide on Cooking for Youth Workers 📖
After a long (and lively!) shopping trip, the Greek team kicked off our cooking workshops with a presentation on Greek cuisine, culture and history 🇬🇷 Then it was time to cook! We split into 4 teams at different stations, rotating around and preparing a dish at each one — true teamwork in the kitchen 🍅🫒
The day ended with a wonderful dinner we all made together under the Greek team's guidance, followed by a Greek cultural evening full of traditional dances and songs 💃🕺
An unforgettable day of flavors, culture and connection!

Day 1 ✨ – Let the cooking begin!

Our Training Course "A Taste of Europe" officially kicked off today in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria! 🇧🇬

Youth workers from Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Slovakia and Greece came together for a day full of energy — team building games to break the ice, an introduction to the project and its objectives, and (the fun part) building our menu for the days of cooking ahead! 🍲👩‍🍳

Culture, connection and a whole lot of flavor are on the way. Stay tuned!

♻️ Throwback: ReToy Youth Exchange, Slovakia 🇸🇰

Back in September (8–16), our team joined an unforgettable Erasmus+ youth exchange in Slovakia, and we still think about it all the time! 🙌

Alongside young people from Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Romania and our host country Slovakia, we spent the week turning trash into treasure. Literally. ♻️🎨

Here's what we got up to:

🧹 Cleaned up the streets of Košice together with local residents

🏙️ Built an entire Smart City model out of collected waste

🖨️ Learned 3D printing from scratch, and used it to bring our ideas to life

🤖 Made AI-powered videos to spread our message

🧸 Donated handmade upcycled toys to charity

🎉 Shared our work with the public at the youth centre and donated our Smart City model so it could keep inspiring future visitors!

We came home with new skills, new friendships across five countries, and a much bigger belief in what young people can build when they work together. 💪🌱

This is exactly the kind of project we love being part of, and we're already looking ahead to what's next. If you're a young person in Bulgaria who wants to travel, learn, create and make a real difference, this could be you next time. 👀

📩 Follow us and get in touch if you want to join our future Erasmus+ adventures! Let's keep turning ideas into action.

📅 Day 7 | 29 June 2026

Break the Silence came to a close with a day full of smiles, memories, and heartfelt goodbyes. ❤️🎭

Through creative theatre reflections, we revisited the highlights of the week, relived our favorite moments, and celebrated everything we had learned together. Looking back, we realized how much we had grown—not only as performers, but as friends and active young people ready to make a difference.

Of course, no farewell is complete without laughter! We wrapped up the project with fun games, warm hugs, and promises to meet again, proving that while the project may be over, the connections and experiences will stay with us for a long time.

Until the next adventure! 🌍✨

Day 6 | 28 June 2026

Break the Silence continued with another inspiring day of creativity, collaboration, and learning through theatre. 🎭✨

We explored more improvisational theatre techniques through dynamic exercises that challenged us to think on our feet, trust one another, and express ourselves with confidence. Every activity encouraged us to listen, adapt, and discover new ways of communicating beyond words.

Alongside the practical sessions, we worked on one of the project's key outcomes: a guidebook that will gather the methods, activities, and lessons learned throughout the youth exchange. By reflecting on our experiences and documenting the techniques we explored, we are creating a resource that can inspire other young people, youth workers, and educators to use theatre as a tool for dialogue, inclusion, and social change.

We ended the day with the Polish Cultural Evening. 🇵🇱 Through traditional food, music, dances, and customs, our Polish friends shared a part of their culture, bringing everyone together for another memorable evening of intercultural exchange.
