Youth Exchange "Health is wealth"
For nine unforgettable days, we participated in an Erasmus Plus program in Berlin. It was a unique opportunity to connect with 30 participants from five different countries: Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Greece. Each day was carefully planned with engaging group activities, outdoor adventures, and interactive games that energized us from morning to evening. The topic of the activities was about health and what it represents for us, methods on how to improve our health and how to take care of it on a daily basis.
Our mornings often started with “wake-up games,” setting the tone for collaboration and fun. We quickly bonded over team challenges, creative workshops, and problem-solving tasks. One of the highlights was the *intercultural night*, where each group presented their country’s traditions, music, and cuisine. It was an incredible way to learn about different cultures while enjoying delicious food and lively dances.
Exploring Berlin was another highlight of the program. Together, we visited iconic museums that showcased Berlin’s rich history and vibrant art scene. Walking through the streets, we experienced the city’s dynamic energy, from historical landmarks like the Berlin Wall to its modern neighborhoods filled with street art and diverse cultures.
The program also emphasized outdoor activities, mindfulness workshops, debates, healthy lifestyle choices, playing games, sharing stories, or simply relaxing under the trees, all allowing us to connect on a deeper level.
What made this experience truly special was the group dynamic. Although we came from different countries, we quickly became a family. The combination of teamwork, cultural exchange, and personal growth made every day meaningful and enriching.
This Erasmus Plus experience not only expanded our horizons but also strengthened our appreciation for diversity, communication, and collaboration. Berlin became more than just a city; it became the backdrop for lifelong memories and friendships. We left with a renewed sense of curiosity and gratitude!
