Transformative Journey: My Unique Experience in the INNER EYE Double Programme in Spain and Poland

My experience of participating in the INNER EYE double programme in Spain and Poland was unique and very transformative. As for the 2nd programme range the hospitality we received was excellent, both from the organisers and the people in Poland. The city in which we were hosted was full of colour and life and the place where we stayed and where the programme was held was comfortable, equipped and ideal to realise our purpose.

These kinds of meetings in the context of youth work are particularly important since it brings young people in direct contact with different cultures and people. The programme was entitled "INNER EYE (Reflection)", with the main purpose of developing acceptance of diversity and uniqueness and fostering love for others. During the week, we participated in various workshops with themes around the body, equality, diversity and personal development of each individual. Each participating country had implemented a workshop in their country before the project, and presented us with their results, experiences and conclusions. Personally, I was an active participant in both the discussions and the workshop, expressing my views, the challenges we faced and the positive changes we observed in the participants. The next day finds me more aware, more conscious and definitely more open-minded. I am grateful for this experience and look forward to applying what I learned in my daily life and in my future actions.
