Hello, my name is Francesco Ceo, and I took part into the Erasmus:

We did a lots of different activities, such as for example kayaking, fishing, camping, hiking, swimming in to the fjord and camp management. Also, during the fifth day, we weaved wool during a lesson with Justine, and that activity has been pretty interesting. 

Also, has been a pretty wild activity to swim into the fjord, also considering the temperature, but it has been amazing! Really good way to get again in touch with nature

There were different nationalities, and these were Georgians, Italians and Ukrainians, we all took part into the exchange working together and learning from each other

Was an incredible experience, and not only just for the breathtaking place, surrounded by nature and just woods, but also for the vibes there

We all had collaborated and worked together, every day learning something new, for example, I now learned how to fire up a fire, how to fish properly and how to sleep well into tent 

Unfortunately, the weather was not the best, only rain for an entire week, but that was just a something to deal with, and after the first days, we’re already used to 

Also also, we’re pretty upset because the raised level of the river made us cancelled the last 2 days trip, but anyway, wasn’t a problem because we all together passed the night into a giant sleepover, talking and doing storytelling 

So, the experience now is a core memory for me, and I’m extremely grateful to have been chosen 

I’m still in touch with a lot of friends that I met there

Some photos of the experience with all the friends met there and the activities

The dissemination process of the outdoor project is still on! Let's share with you the follow-up activity implemented by the Croatian group.

"The Erasmus+ project „Into the Field“ took place in Volda, Norway from 28th August until 5th September 2022. Seven young people, a 6+1 group leader, presenting LAG Vallis Colapis from Croatia participated in this youth exchange together with young people from Georgia, Ukraine, and Norway.

After returning home from the youth exchange, the participants started the dissemination phase, ie sharing the results. 

This is what the group leader of the Croatian team shared about the event: „We gathered with our friends in nature and decided to recreate some activities we did in the YE to show what we have learned and to share results with other young people in our community. During the dissemination event, we presented how to pack your backpack for hiking, how to prepare food in open spaces and open fire and we did some hiking with our friends also. Above that, we did a session about the opportunities that the Erasmus+ program offers to young people and we also presented energizers, ice-breakers, and other nonformal methods of learning we got the chance to experience in Volda.“ 

Young people in this event also participated in the Aronia harvest with locals and prepared a barbecue for refreshments after all the activities.

We feel that the interest of young people in the environmental topics and outdoor activities that participated in the dissemination event has grown and that they will be highly motivated to participate in this kind of project in the future."

[YOUTH EXCHANGE "INTO THE FIELD 2.0" - DISSEMINATION]

Bernarda, Gabrijela, Dora, Barbara, Lorena, Nikolina and Mijo participated in the youth exchange in Volda, Norway, 2-11 July, as part of the Erasmus+ program. 

Upon return, they engaged in follow-up activity as a very important part of every Erasmus+ project.

Our group implemented a dissemination activity in the local community during which they presented their experience from Norway. They shared the knowledge and skills they acquired during the exchange with the members of the Mountaineering Club "Vinica" and their friends.

In addition to the presentation of the Erasmus+ program, the project itself and dissemination of the results, the participants of the dissemination activity discussed renewable energy sources in Norway, the flora and fauna of the location, altitude, cultural differences, differences in mountain terrain, sustainability, intercultural learning, etc.

Kudos to our 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏 for introducing us to partners and other participants of the YE in the best possible way. See you soon at some other activities! 

[RAZMJENA MLADIH "INTO THE FIELD 2.0" - DISEMINACIJA] 

Bernarda, Gabrijela, Dora, Barbara, Lorena, Nikolina i Mijo u sklopu Erasmus+ programa sudjelovali su na razmjeni mladih u Voldi u Norveškoj, od 2. do 11. srpnja. 

Nakon povratka, uslijedila je follow-up aktivnost kao vrlo važan dio svakog Erasmus+ projekta. 

Naša grupa provela je diseminacijsku aktivnost u lokalnoj zajednici tijekom koje su predstavili svoje iskustvo iz Norveške. Znanje i vještine koje su stekli na razmjeni podijelili su s članovima Planinarskog društva "Vinica" i svojim prijateljima. 

Osim predstavljanja Erasmus+ programa, samog projekta te širenja rezultata sudionici diseminacijske aktivnosti razgovarali su o obnovljivim izvorima energije u Norveškoj, flori i fauni lokacije,

nadmorskoj visini, kulturnim razlikama, razlikama u planinarskim terenima, održivosti, interkulturalnom učenju itd.  

Pohvale našoj 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐔𝐏𝐈 što ste nas na najbolji mogući način predstavili partnerima i ostalim sudionicima razmjene. Nastavljamo druženje na nekim drugim aktivnostima!
