The Step Into Action Youth Exchange has come to an end, but the experiences, friendships, and lessons we shared will stay with us long after we returned home. 💚

Last week, 45 people from Romania, Belgium, Serbia, Hungary and Germany came together in the beautiful nature of Botassart to learn, challenge themselves, and create memories that will stay with them for a long time.

From hiking, water games and outdoor challenges to environmental actions and team activities, every day brought something new. Working in mixed-ability groups reminded us that inclusion it's something we experience when everyone has the chance to take part, contribute and support one another.

We left Belgium with new friendships, more confidence, plenty of ideas to bring home, and a stronger connection with nature and each other.

A big thank you to everyone. Until the next adventure!

Not every project day looks like 🚴‍♂️🌿☀️...

Sometimes it looks more like 💻☕📚.

That's us these days, working on something we're really excited about: the CYCLE-IN Practical Guide.

We're putting together everything we've learned throughout the project so far, from our trainings, experiences, know-how, and the amazing people we've met, to create a guide that will help make outdoor activities more accessible for young people with visual impairments.

It's a lot of writing, reviewing, discussing, rewriting... and yes, probably too much coffee. ☕😄

This autumn, we'll finally be able to share it with you, and we hope it will inspire more organisations to make the outdoors a place where everyone can take part.

Stay tuned!

Yesterday, 45 participants from Romania, Belgium, Serbia, Hungary and Germany arrived in the beautiful nature of Botassart, Belgium, ready for a week of outdoor adventures, learning and getting to know each other. 🌿

Our first day was all about getting to know each other, breaking the ice, feeling comfortable as a group, and creating a common ground for the days ahead. There were lots of smiles, new friendships already starting, and a great atmosphere from the very beginning.

Over the next few days, we'll explore outdoor activities, learn in mixed-ability groups, challenge ourselves, and spend plenty of time surrounded by nature. 🌱

Stay with us, we can't wait to show you everything that's coming next!

And just like that, the first phase of our DiscoverEU project "Breaking Barriers, Building Europe" has come to an end 💙

We’re already working on the next activity within this project (and we’ll tell you all about it very soon), but until then we wanted to take a moment to look back at this incredible adventure.

Over the past weeks we’ve shared some moments from our journey, but every photo and every story only captured a small part of what this experience really meant.

This activity was much more than travelling across Europe, it was about gaining confidence, becoming more independent, meeting new people, discovering different cultures, and showing that travelling can be inclusive when barriers are removed.

For our five young participants, it was a real step outside their comfort zones and an experience that will stay with them for a very long time.

If you’d like to see the whole story, we’ve put everything together in one article: the journey, the activities, the challenges, the lessons learned, and the moments that made this DiscoverEU experience so special.

Two mobilities, new competences and an important step forward for inclusive adult education!

Through the Erasmus+ project Inclusive Employability, Asociatia Babilon Travel completed two international learning activities: a training course hosted by Mine Vaganti NGO in Sassari, Italy, and a job-shadowing programme hosted by Fundación Docete Omnes in Granada, Spain.

Our staff strengthened their knowledge of inclusive education, job coaching, personalised employment pathways, accessibility, assistive technologies and cooperation with employers and employment support professionals.

The project does not end with the mobilities. Our next step is to organise internal workshops through which the experience and knowledge gained will be shared with all ABT staff members and volunteers and integrated into our future work and activities.
These experiences are helping our organisation grow, better understand the needs of adults with disabilities and other adults with fewer opportunities, and provide more accessible and effective support.

🥋🌍 Babilon Travel NGO took part in the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange "Fight for Inclusion: Taekwondo as a Tool for Social Change", held in Zagreb from 30 June to 7 July 2026.

The project brought together more than 60 young people from Romania, Croatia, and Serbia to explore how taekwondo and non-formal education can promote inclusion, build self-confidence, strengthen teamwork, and encourage intercultural learning.

Through practical training sessions, workshops, team-building activities, intercultural evenings, and daily reflection sessions, participants developed their communication skills, discipline, resilience, sense of responsibility, and openness towards people from different backgrounds.

A key focus of the project was the active participation of young people with fewer opportunities, including participants with disabilities. All activities were designed to create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone could contribute, learn, and participate on equal terms.

The project also included a public event in Zagreb, where members of the local community had the opportunity to take part in inclusive taekwondo activities, meet the participants, and learn more about the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ Programme.

For Babilon Travel NGO, this project represented an important opportunity to strengthen international cooperation, promote adapted sports, and empower young people to become more confident, more connected, and more active within their communities.

🇪🇺 This project was funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ Programme.

Let us show you a bit more of the amazing experiences and adventures we had last week during our DiscoverEU project in Luxembourg 🇱🇺

We arrived back home late Thursday night after travelling in total both ways over 3,000 km by train, changing 14 trains.🚆 There were lots of adventures, unexpected moments and a lot of tiredness… but honestly, it was worth every single second of it! ✨

Our young participants had an amazing time during these days. The experience was not only about discovering the importance of the European Union, what it means to be an EU citizen and how its institutions work, but also about discovering more about themselves.
And honestly, the skills they developed during these few days were clearly visible!

On our last day, just before starting our journey back home, we visited the Europa Experience Center. Suddenly, many things started to make sense as they learned more about how the three main EU institutions work. The visual and interactive experience sparked a lot of questions, curiosity and interesting discussions among the young participants 🇪🇺

From discovering Luxembourg to discovering the EU, and a little bit more about themselves along the way, this DiscoverEU adventure was definitely one to remember 💙

🇪🇺 Our DiscoverEU group is discovering Luxembourg, the European Union, and a little more about themselves every day.

On the first day, they explored the city through cultural visits and an accessibility treasure hunt, discovering Luxembourg while developing skills for an independent everyday life.

The second day brought a unique opportunity to visit the Court of Justice of the European Union, where we met Romanian judges Ion Galea and Octavia Spineanu-Matei. They shared insights into their work and helped us better understand how the European justice system works in practice.

A big thank you to both judges for their warm welcome, openness, and the inspiring discussion. Experiences like these make DiscoverEU a chance to everyone to learn, grow, and connect with Europe.
