I’ve been interested in a self-development for a quite some time and that’s why I was touched by the deep experience that my friend went through on Erasmus + project called I am being in Latvia in summer 2019. So when she sent me a link on a very similar project I applied immediately. After a short time, I got the acceptance mail from organisers and I started to look for the flight tickets. I still thank myself for the foresight that I had when I was booking flight tickets for 3 days earlier to spend some alone time in Riga, capital of Latvia, to prepare myself what was waiting for me.

Once upon a time, there were five young ladies who decided to join an adventure in the Netherlands. At first, we did not know what to expect but throughout the programme, we were discovering more and more. The only thing we knew was that we would spend 12 days with people from 10 different countries in a small town called Ommen. As soon as we arrived we fell in love with the place – Olde Vechte.

ENCOURAGE YOURSELF – CAN YOU?
During 10 days in September, I had the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus+ project named EnCourage which was focused on youth exchange.

However, I have also enjoyed many breaks, which I have spent together with more than twenty other participants of this international course, which, at the end of it, I would not be afraid to call one big family.

“No Boxing was a training where I learned not only to think outside the bowl but not to have a bowl.”

Between October 1 and 9, 2019, I attended the No Box International Training which took place in the mountains near Argos, near the village of Malandreni on the Greek Peloponnese. Twenty-five participants from ten European countries (Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Italy, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Latvia, Spain and the United Kingdom) came here.
