What the participants said...

“ This training course in Greece is probably one of the best summer experiences I have had. Everything there - the atmosphere, the people and the camp itself were great and made me feel free and careless. I also made a lot of new friendships and I was introduced to different cultures. The topic of the course was interesting to me and I’ve learned more about youth exchanges and Erasmus + programs. Overall I'd love to go there again because of how happy I felt there.” - Reneta Chkarowa, Bulgaria

" Last week I was lucky enough to participate in the training course QYEP (09/09-15/09), which was held in Orfani Kavala, Greece at Tsaf Tsouf Campsite. It was my first experience taking part in such an international event! I’ve met participants and great people from Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Latvia, Slovenia, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Estonia with whom we trained in facilitation and created a project of youth exchange, discussing how to consume the results effectively to society. Every day was different from each other and surprised us with pleasant emotions. I am very grateful to InfitityGreece for such an amazing opportunity to meet new people, gain a lot of useful information about youth exchanges and have an unforgettable experience. I will never forget this! "
