One of the moments that has remained in our memories is the training in Bjelovar. There we met our mentors and other project participants for the first time, exchanged experiences, and began our joint journey through EGL. It was this atmosphere of openness, support, and cooperation that gave a special tone to the entire experience.
I would also like to highlight the focus groups with young people, because then we heard firsthand about their needs, problems, and challenges they face. It was precisely such conversations that gave us real insight into what young people in our community need and how we can better approach them.
Special praise to our mentors for the great way of cooperation – with a lot of creativity, openness and the right dose of laughter that made every challenge easier and more fun.
Happy 10 years of successful implementation – with lots of achievements, growth and reasons to celebrate!
