On arrival day, our Erasmus+ training adventure officially began! ✨ Some of us started the day at Kraków Airport, others from Warsaw – trains, buses, backpacks... and excitement in the air. 🚆🚌

By late afternoon, we all found ourselves gathered at the bus station in Pińczów, right in the heart of the picturesque Świętokrzyskie region. Even from the window, we could already spot the rolling hills and lush green landscapes – a promising view of what’s ahead. 🌿🏞️

From there, a private bus took us to our home for the week: Agroturystyka Sabat Bełk – a peaceful rural retreat far away from the noise (and from mobile signal 😉). Nestled among forests and fields, this place welcomed us with fresh air, the sounds of birds, and... a whole bunch of friendly animals 🐱🐶 – including tiny kittens that instantly stole our hearts.

After a long journey, we shared a delicious dinner (pancakes! 🥞💛), followed by our first activity together. We formed a circle and played a light introductory game to get to know each other – each of us wore a sticky note with two true facts and one lie about ourselves. The guessing began! Laughter, curiosity, and a few surprising revelations made for a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

It was a long and tiring day, but full of good energy and promise. We headed to bed with excitement for what tomorrow will bring. 🌙✨

Recognition tool for non-formal & informal learning in youth projects

2019-06-20 counter for smart phone with YP person

Youthpass at first glance

Youthpass is a tool that gives the word to the learners in describing their learning outcomes.

Youthpass is the recognition instrument developed for the projects realised in the European youth programmes. Through the Youthpass certificate, participation in such projects can be recognised as an educational experience and a period of non-formal and informal learning. Youthpass foresees a process applied throughout the project life-cycle to support the learning of participants. It also serves as a strategy that improves the recognition of non-formal learning in Europe.

Why Youthpass?

What I tried to portray in this story is a path I took from gaining my first Youthpass to gaining a few more, learning and growing through non-formal education, being able to secure jobs and scholarships for myself and, finally, discover my inner passion and find my dream job. To everyone second guessing themselves: don't. Try! There is nothing to lose, and so, so much to gain. Thanks, Youthpass!

Nikolina

...I was sitting in an interview for my undergraduate study. I mentioned working with people and how I have non-formal education experience in this area. I had brought my Youthpass certificates. The certificates proved to be extremely useful because they served as a physical evidence of my participation in the youth exchanges and the knowledge gained. I stood out from more than 600 candidates in the interview and successfully enrolled in the desired study.

Petra

With the help of Youthpass and my mentor, I started to believe in myself, see my potential to grow and reached my goal. I believe that was just a small piece of puzzle in the big picture of success, but now I see how Youthpass can help me achieve much more in my future career and personal life.

Our second day of the ACT NOW training was filled with energy, creativity, and moments that brought us closer as a group. We started with name games and playful challenges to help us remember each other's names.

Then came our first group adventure: a quest to save a princess using magical stones! 🧙‍♀️💎 Behind the fairytale twist was a deeper goal – building trust, exploring group dynamics, and discovering the roles we naturally take on when working together.

Suddenly… 🎶 Mission: Impossible theme music filled the room, and a new challenge was born! We had just 50 minutes to complete a wild set of tasks: filming creative videos, taking themed photos, inventing a project logo, and even composing a project anthem! 🎬📸🎵 The room was buzzing with collaboration, ideas, and a good dose of adrenaline.

In between the action-packed games, we also filled in important Erasmus+ documentation 📄, established our group rules 🧭, shared our fears, expectations, and contributions during this experience. 🧠🤲

Later, each of us drew a self-portrait, which we attached to an envelope marked with our name. These are now our personal "mailboxes" 📬💌 – where our Secret Friends will drop small surprises, notes of kindness, and encouragement throughout the week. At the end of the project, we’ll find out who has been secretly looking out for us!

The evening ended just right: bonfire-grilled sausages, good conversations, and an integration evening full of laughter 🔥🌭. The weather, however, had other plans – each hour brought more clouds, and by nightfall, rain and distant thunder reminded us that we’re truly off the grid (yes, even the WiFi surrendered 😅).

What a day! We’re learning, laughing, and growing – together.

The Fastest Meme Generator on the Planet. Easily add text to images or memes.

Draw Add Image Spacing

Upload new template

Generate meme text with AI.

What is the Meme Generator?

It's a free online image maker that lets you add custom resizable text, images, and much more to templates. People often use the generator to customize established memes, such as those found in Imgflip's collection of Meme Templates. However, you can also upload your own templates or start from scratch with empty templates.

How to make a meme

1. Choose a template. You can use one of the popular templates, search through more than 1 million user-uploaded templates using the search input, or hit "Upload new template" to upload your own template from your device or from a url. For designing from scratch, try searching "empty" or "blank" templates.

2. Add customizations. Add text, images, stickers, drawings, and spacing using the buttons beside your meme canvas.

3. Create and share. Hit "Generate Meme" and then choose how to share and save your meme. You can share to social apps or through your phone, or share a link, or download to your device. You can also share with one of Imgflip's many meme communities.

How can I customize my meme?

You can move and resize the text boxes by dragging them around. If you're on a mobile device, you may have to first check "enable drag/drop" in the More Options section. You can add as many additional text boxes as you want with the Add Text button.

You can customize the font color and outline color next to where you type your text.

You can further customize the font for each text box using the gear icon next to the text input. Imgflip supports all fonts installed on your device including the default Windows, Mac, and web fonts, including bold and italic. Over 1,300 free fonts are also supported for all devices. Any other font you want can be used if you first install it on your device and then type in the font name on Imgflip.

You can insert popular or custom stickers and other images including scumbag hats, deal-with-it sunglasses, speech bubbles, and more. Opacity and resizing are supported, and you can copy/paste images using CMD/CTRL + C/V for quick creation.

You can rotate, flip, and crop any templates you upload.

You can draw, outline, or scribble on your meme using the panel just above the meme preview image.

You can create "meme chains" of multiple images stacked vertically by adding new images with the "below current image" setting.

You can add special image effects like posterize, jpeg artifacts, blur, sharpen, and color filters like grayscale, sepia, invert, and brightness.

You can remove our subtle imgflip.com watermark (as well as remove ads and supercharge your image creation abilities) using Imgflip Pro orImgflip Pro Basic.

Can I use the generator for more than just memes?

Yes! The Meme Generator is a flexible tool for many purposes. By uploading custom images and using all the customizations, you can design many creative works including posters, banners, advertisements, and other custom graphics.

Can I make animated or video memes?

Yes! Animated meme templates will show up when you search in the Meme Generator above (try "party parrot"). If you don't find the meme you want, browse all the GIF Templates or upload and save your own animated template using the GIF Maker.

Do you have a wacky AI that can write memes for me?

Funny you ask. Why yes, we do. Here you go: imgflip.com/ai-meme (warning, may contain vulgarity)

But what if we had the opportunity to be on the European Parliament for a day? 🇪🇺 How would we take care of different needs, prioritise, negotiate, and make decisions? ⚖ And what happens when consensus is not achieved? What are the factors affecting the consensus? It's definitely not an easy task to be a politician and make decisions 🫣 but hurray, we did it 🫂

Is it any easier to distinguish fake from factual information? There are a bunch of sources nowadays and information circulates fast and between different platforms: knowing where it comes from might be difficult - but it is our responsibility to check it (and double check it) ✅ in order to prevent assumptions, mistakes, discrimination and the spreading of misinformation. Knowledge is power 🧠

And so our journey of today ends with just one question: WHO KILLED ALICE? PLEASE! WE NEED TO KNOW.

Today was full of inspiration, reflection, and connection! We started the day with a fun and thought-provoking Gender Escape Room which challenged our perspectives and encouraged us to think critically about gender roles and equality.

In the morning, we continued with a creative storytelling workshop, where we rewrote classic fairytales. This eye-opening activity helped us recognize how deeply stereotypes are woven into familiar stories—and how we have the power to change the narrative.

In the afternoon, we explored the powerful Theatre of Oppressed method. We worked in groups to prepare scenes based on real-life situations of discrimination we’ve faced. It was a moving experience that fostered empathy, awareness, and mutual support.

In the evening, we simply enjoyed each other’s company, laughed, and played cards—ending the day with warmth, joy, and a stronger sense of community.

We were tasked with Kayaking from one location (Blue Bridge) to a second location, a yellow bridge 18 km away. We began at 10 am and split ourselves into pairs.

1. Neven and Claudillia

2. Hassan and Morgana

3. Giovanna and Feroz

4. Fabio and Maartje

5. Jasmine and Ashwyn

6. Toseef and Letiza

7. Joanna and Kasia

8. Roberto and Izabela

Groups 5 to 8 stopped at a separate location about 12 kilometers into the route. Along the way there were birds, ducks, butterflies, dragonflies and Hassan saw a snake.

Giovanna ended up steering herself and Feroz into one of the grass sides of the riverside covering him in bugs.

Ashwyn fell into the river at one of the deeper sections, panicking, resulting in him losing his glasses.

Morgana and Hassan also flipped over while Toseef and Letiza were spinning out of control while on a cigarette break.

Only the first 4 groups completed it as it was very challenging however we were all very proud and happy that we were able to do this activity.

While we were out Kayaking, the rest of the group visited a river.

Later that evening Poland, Croatia and Hungary had their cultural presentations.

Hungary 🇭🇺 - Ashwyn, Sufiyan, Isaac and Toseef

Croatia 🇭🇷 - Jasmin, Neven and Izabela

Poland 🇵🇱 - David, Joanna and Kasia

Hungary - We did a Kahoot quiz and learnt about their traditional meat stew called Goulash and about their love for paprika.

Croatia - We had an reenactment of Sinjska alka, a traditional game which celebrates the victory of Croatia over Turkiye even though they (the Croatians) were outnumbered.

Poland - We learnt about wedding traditions such as dancing, gifts and games played. We drank homemade alcohol and enjoyed local snacks .

Between 1 and 2 am a group of participants decided to star gaze and sleep outside.

The horses and dogs did find us weird but they were good company.

As part of our recent session, we engaged in a group activity where each team, consisting of 4 to 5 members, was tasked with creating an energiser and a set of activities focused on the themes of discrimination and oppression. The objective was to raise awareness and encourage critical thinking about these important social issues in an interactive and engaging way.

The teams came up with creative and thought-provoking energisers that not only got everyone moving and participating but also helped set the tone for the deeper discussions to follow. Each group then presented their own activities, which highlighted different forms of discrimination and allowed participants to reflect on the impact of oppression in everyday life.

The session was both educational and enjoyable. It fostered teamwork, empathy, and open dialogue among participants. Overall, it was a fun and meaningful experience that successfully combined learning with collaboration.

These days were amazing. We had a lot of fun, we learned from others, and we also taught others. That’s the main point of our video to show that we all have differences. We all have so many things to share and be proud of.

This video was made with love, creativity, and lots of fun. Marteej, Sufyan, Neven, Fabio, and I Roberto hope you enjoy it as much as we did. My heart doesn’t have the words to express how proud I am of us, for having the courage to embark on this adventure.

Thanks to Katka, Jazmin, and Annia you were amazing trainers. The agrotouristic place in Pińczów was such a great place to stay and spend 10 days with all of you! For some of us, it was our first project and we did it! We gained so much in so many different ways. Juanito, Kashia, and Antonio our little pets the nights sleeping under the stars, the afternoons complaining about how tired we were, the volleyball games, the Gringo game and even Dominos, the cold showers, the minibus from Kraków, and the eggs for lunch all of that was part of the experience, and we should be grateful for it.

Personally, I’m going to miss you all

Iza girl we are going to meat againg for sure, thanks for being you, you are an amazing girl,

Marisa and her amazing laugh,

Kashia re-named me as Federico amazing! Love you so much, girl.

Joana Poland at least we had those French fries by the river after that hard work kayaking!

And Joana Portugal one of my confidants during the project, nos vamos a voltar a ver com certeza.

Hassan always trying to include everyone,

Morgana with her crazy ideas (like sleeping in the main workshop room),

Damanie and Neven, so talented, artistic and competitive of course why not?,

My housemates Sufyan and Ash trying to sleep through all the noise, and our beautiful shower singer,

Marteej with her experience and her efforts to make things fair,

Toosef with his funny dances,

Pedro always late,

Gio always with her “Guyssss” and that beautiful smile,

Feroz with his ferocity and lap dances,

Fabio and Jazmin sharing so much from their experience,

Ala, Letizia, and Isaac often quiet, but always speaking with the right words at the right moment,

Claudilla with her amazing iPad shows, and her fear of us getting lost in the forest it was so funny.

And David… just being David.

Roberto just wants to say thank you for accepting me and for truly accomplishing the goals of the course:

Be yourself, don’t discriminate, and always include everyone.

‎"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."
‎In all honesty, I couldn't have asked for a more lovely group than this amazing team. This was my maiden Erasmus Project, and each and every one of you embraced me, making me feel utterly at home, as if we've know each other for long.  We genuinely watched out for one another, right from the bustling Kraków Bus Station. I vividly recall typing in the WhatsApp group, "Guys, I am at the D5 bus station," even as we were all already "uncomfortably"settled on the bus. Hassan, even inquired if I was "Isaac" because everyone else had momentarily feared I'd been left behind, given the slight delay in getting a response from the group. That shared, authentic concern for each other was truly a beautiful experience. I deeply cherished our collective company—the boundless fun, the thrilling card games of Mafia, the volleyball games, the heartfelt chats, and every shared moment; it all resonated profoundly within me. Though I often found myself in quiet observation, I learned immensely, and my admiration for each and every one of you, and for the unwavering effort you poured into executing our assigned tasks, grew immeasurably. In moments when I felt disoriented, my teammates displayed incredible patience and a genuine willingness to help navigate complexities with effortless grace. My gratitude to you all is boundless.
‎And now, to our extraordinary trio, Katka, Jasmin, and Anna: your efforts were nothing short of phenomenal! I was truly awestruck by the sheer brilliance of some activities, and the immense dedication you invested into organizing this entire program is not merely worth mentioning, but deserves a profound appreciation. The Polish food, the delicious desserts, the comfortable accommodation—everything was simply fantastic and amazing. If a grading system were applied, I would unhesitatingly award it 100% with distinction. I wholeheartedly appreciate every single effort put into this project. I truly loved every precious moment of it.
Let's go and make a change, and spread love to the world.

As the sun rose on our last day together, there was a quiet buzz in the air, something between excitement and nostalgia. None of us wanted it to end, but we knew we had one final day to pour our hearts into this unforgettable Erasmus+ journey.

We kicked things off with a creative mission: making the project visible through social media. We split into energetic teams and got to work crafting short vlogs, behind-the-scenes clips, and powerful videos that captured the essence of our ten days together. Laughter echoed through the rooms, camera phones were everywhere, and yet, by the time we watched each other's creations, tears had started to fall. Some of the videos were so honest and moving that they touched something deep inside us. We realized just how much we had grown together.

Later, we shifted gears but kept the joy alive with a hilarious and heartwarming recap of the entire project. Through improvised sketches and creative re-enactments, we relived each day from the icebreakers to the deepest workshops. Laughter roared through the room as we remembered inside jokes, challenges, and victories. Each short scene was a love letter to the experiences we shared.

But the most emotional part of the day came as we walked the “Love Corridor.” One by one, we passed through a pathway of friends, all whispering kind words, encouragement, and gratitude into our ears. It was pure magic. Tears welled up again, not out of sadness, but from the overwhelming feeling of love and connection.

To top it all off, we handed out Youthpasses, each one personally delivered to our “secret friend,” who had been supporting us quietly throughout the course. There were endless hugs, photos, and kind words floating in every direction. It felt like time had slowed down, giving us the chance to soak in the moment.

We will miss each other immensely, but what we’ve built here will last far beyond the goodbye hugs. This wasn’t just a training course. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And as we go back to our homes and our lives, a part of each other will go with us.

Thank you to everyone who made this project so special 💙
