“During the 21–29th of September I was lucky enough to participate in the Mind for Europe program in Murzasichle, Poland. The program takes place in a graphic village with incredible views. Everybody that worked in the project was very professional at their job and very informed about the subject which was about misinformation and sustainability. I enjoyed meeting participants from different countries, discussing this subject with them as well as learning more about their cultures.”

“I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this project. The location was magnificent and the hike in the Tatra Mountains will be always on my mind. The topic of the program was very interesting as it was related to fake news and sustainability. I believe that I gained a lot of knowledge on how to find valid information on the topic of my interest, and even developed my vocabulary. I met wonderful people from different parts of Europe. Overall it was an unforgettable experience.”
Xrisa reflected:
“During 21–29 of September I had the opportunity to be a part of a project in Poland. The participants were from 10 different countries and we talked about fake news, SDGs and how much impact we have on them. Except for the learning process, I met a lot of lovely people from different cultures, with whom we shared our different opinions, food and traditions.”
