The project ECOLAB started with a looong-long train trip to Sibiu – after I spent the night on a train. At the Sibiu Train Station, one of the participants was waiting for me and guided me all around the city – and I gained a lot of knowledge about the city and Romania. Later that they 3 other participants and I left for Capataneni (where ECOLAB was held). The car trip was amazing being surrounded by mountains and I can say that I enjoyed the whole travel regardless of whether I was dead tired.

When we arrived at the venue, everyone greeted us warm-heartedly and even on the first day I met almost every participant – people from North Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria.

Every day started with breakfast, after that, we heard and hold workshops about different topics: environment protection, Green Deal, climate changes and so on. After dinner, we hold international nights, where we learned about others cultures (one country each day).

In the middle of the program, we visited the Dracula Castle but as we cannot enter it, we choose to visit a monastery.

During my time spent there, I have made lifelong friendships and it felt like being a big-big family. I’ve made a lot of memories and gained even more experience. And I’d like to encourage everyone to try out these projects!

International friends, diversity and amazing program, learning from and with each other… these things give the zest of the Erasmus+ projects!

Between 18 and 27 of March, during the ECOLAB – ECOlogy & ECOnomy – A LABoratory for Youth Workers project we learnt a lot about ecology while we were included some interesting programs as well. We touched the topics of economy, politics and society – and we made think tanks to solve the current problems related to them.

As for teamwork we made 4 escape rooms in English for yougsters, too.

Every night we had International Nights to get a little touch from other cultures and show others our own – thigs such as gastronomy, traditions and so on.

Also, we had a trip to the Vidraru-lake and we have visited the attractions of Curtea de Arges and by this we learned new things about Romania.

The project turned out being rich in experience of useful things while me made lifelong friendships.
