Attending the Erasmus+ training course in Croatia on youth policies and the watchdog action plan was an enriching experience.

The program brought together participants from various countries, fostering a collaborative environment where we could exchange ideas and best practices. We delved deep into the intricacies of youth policies, learning about effective strategies to engage young people in policy-making processes. The watchdog action plan component was particularly insightful, equipping us with the tools and techniques needed to monitor and advocate for the implementation of youth policies effectively.

Through workshops, discussions, and practical exercises, we gained a comprehensive understanding of how to create and sustain impactful youth initiatives. The cultural immersion in Croatia added an extra dimension to the learning experience, allowing us to understand the local context and its influence on youth engagement.

Overall, this training course not only enhanced our knowledge and skills but also strengthened our commitment to driving positive change in youth policies within our respective communities.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, taking part in such a project will change your whole way of thinking! Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone to meet the world and many new people, try different dishes, dances and games:)
