Testimonials from participants

The project was useful for me because I gained new knowledge in the field of leadership and made interesting acquaintances.

I liked each part equally, both formal and informal.

I would participate again in other projects with the same people and with many new ones, the training can be in the entrepreneurial field.

The meetings about the project were useful in terms of: – how to relax in front of an audience and talk without worrying; – structuring ideas in a small amount of time or pages; – Encourage creativity and determination.

In addition to the different atmosphere and new people, the attitude of the leaders, the good distribution of time between rest and lectures, the participation of different leaders of a range of organizations in the field.

Ucesnica na projektu sam od samog pocetka. Ucesce na projektu za mene predstavlja veliko iskustvo.Uvek sam smatrala da mi mladi mozemo da menjamo stvari u svojoj zajednici,ali do sada nisam znala na koji nacin to mozemo da uradimo.

 

Kroz ovaj projekat sam dobila potrebna znanja I vestine koje mogu da primenim u bilo kojoj situaciji.Smatram da svko od nas moze dati svoj doprinos I stvori bolje uslove za zivot mladih u svojoj zajednici.

Drago mi je sto sam deo jednog ovakvog projekta.Do sada nisam imao prilike da ucestvujem u nekom projektu Prekogranicne saradnje. Voleo bih da se ovakav projekat nastavi jer sam upoznao I razvio prijateljstvo kako sa ucesnicima projekta tako I sa clanovima projektnog tima I  mentorima.

 

Znanja I vestine koje sam stekao tokom projekta su mi od velike koristi jer mogu da ih primenjujem I u daljem zivotu u razlicitim oblastima.
