This youth exchange will gather 40 young people to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with themselves, others, and the joy of shared experiences. Set in a rural mountain area in Bulgaria, the project is focused on food - preparation, cooking, and sharing meals with young people from 7 countries.
Prepare for cultural exchange and human connection, between the group and with local Bulgarian residents! In a minimalistic, close-to-nature environment, you can explore creativity, mindful living, and self-awareness through hands-on activities and arts, embracing a “back to the basics” lifestyle that celebrates inclusion, diversity, and learning.
