How was Keep Dreaming Youth Exchange experience for you?
This was my first project and it made such a positive impression on me that since then I haven’t stopped going on projects. Keep Dreaming Youth Exchange was very well organized, with interesting and enjoyable activities, which gave you the chance to interact with each person in the group. The host organization was well-prepared and helpful throughout the experience. I would definitely recommend this project to a friend.
What did you gain from it and which was the highlight?
The most important thing I gained was friendships. Throughout the day I got the chance to talk to every participant, which helped us form strong bonds. Moreover, I developed soft skills, such as teamwork, problem-solving, time management, and active listening. Lastly, as the days passed I felt more confident speaking in front of the public.
I can’t choose a highlight, since the entire program is full of little moments that made the experience unforgettable.

Keep Dreaming Youth exchange was a very fulfilling experience for me! I will remember and cherish these 5 days in the beautiful place of Giardini Naxos, sharing experiences with new people from different countries and bettering my education on the field of mental health.
What did you gain from it and which was the highlight?
Through this exchange, I learned new and useful information on mental health and emotional intelligence. And of course, this exchange has helped my own cultural development, since I gained a better understanding of how each country treats their mental well-being.

How was Keep Dreaming Youth Exchange experience for you?
It was a wonderful experience. I had the chance to meet new people, share experiences, and find things in common with them. The hosts were open and close to the team, while I learned some extra information for mental health. To me this program achieved its goal; all the participants being together and interacting with each other was the most important thing which can promote mental health and social participation.
What did you gain from it and which was the highlight?
I left Giardini Naxos refreshed and returned back to my work and reality full of stories. The highlight of the journey was the ”circle of gratitude” that took place on the last day, where all the participants shared moments and reasons why they felt grateful for our participation in this program. I felt connected and heard with respect.

After attending 10+ projects I can say that this project is in my top 5 best ones. The project alone had very interesting topic and good thought put into it, I was very motivated to be part of it and had expectations which were even exceeded. Overall everything was very well organized, the participants were very friendly and the hosts welcoming. It was a great experience that I will never forget.
What did you gain from it and which was the highlight?
From this project, I have extended my knowledge and I have improved my skills and ability to present in front of others. Putting all of this aside I gained friends and unforgettable moments that we shared during our stay in Giardini Naxos. Maybe it’s not from the project and actual workshop, but my highlight is the night when all of us gathered and enjoyed an evening at Taverna Naxos

How was Keep Dreaming Youth Exchange experience for you?
“Keep Dreaming” youth exchange was an eye-opening experience. I’ve always been passionate about mental health, and this project pushed me to engage with new perspectives. It wasn’t just about sharing opinions, but truly learning from others. The exchange helped me grow in understanding and collaboration, making me more open-minded and reflective in my views on mental health.
What did you gain from it and which was the highlight?
The highlight for me was tapping into my creativity and problem-solving skills through the presentations. It reignited my curiosity and challenged me to think differently. And of course, experiencing Sicily’s culture was amazing, but the real benefit came from the personal growth and connections I made.
