In my opinion this gathering was really great. We made lots of new experiences. We’ve done things that one wouldn’t do in the daily-life. For example we made this audio workshop. There we had to write a text or a song to the topic “poverty and social exclusion”. First, I didn’t know anyone of the gathering. In my view it was quite interesting. First I felt a little bit weird but after two or three days it went better and better. Then you got to know the people more and more and you found lots of friends in this gathering! The whole gathering group was really nice. I liked everyone and I learned much about other countries in Europe, not only because of the country clichés! I really enjoyed this great gathering.

The gathering was amazing, I loved all of fit. I hope something like that happens to me again. It was my first time leaving my home country. It’s so amazing and enjoyable. Hope it will happen again: And I want to say Thanks! to all persons to made it my best time in my life. Learning new things makes me happy. Thank you all!

I met a lot of new friends and interesting people. It is a very good experience for me. I had to speak English and I hope that I’m better at it now.

I met a different world and Vienna is a beautiful town. I liked the art everywhere, for example “Street Art”. It was wonderful for me. I think these gatherings are very important for young people, we can meet new things.

I like this experience and I’m happy that I was here.

At the beginning, it felt weird because we didn’t know each other. But it was getting better every day. We played many different games which helped us to get a group. The feeling was so good. There was such a good atmosphere that we didn’t want to leave again. Furthermore, we learnt much about different cultures in different countries. We also learnt to speak a little bit in another language. The workshops were chosen perfectly. We really enjoyed solving tasks together and discussing about European topics. (…) In the end, I can just recommend and I would always take part again, if I could.

This gathering was very interesting for me. I found a lot of new friends from different places and with different culture. We talked about our new experiences. The program of the teamers was really cool because it was creative and useful. I found my little summer love.

I really liked this gathering. It has an effect on me in very positive way. Each day it was better and better, so I’m sad now because I must go home. I met some beautiful people and I hope we’ll stay in touch! The teamers were really supporting, friendly and funny too.

I’m happy to get an opportunity like this. I don’t think it changes my point of view about Europe, because I didn’t have prejudices about anyone. Although, it was very interesting in the House of the EU. Before that, I didn’t know how the European parliament works.

Für mich war das Gathering eine sehr wertvolle Erfahrung. Besonders lustig fand ich es die Entwicklung in der Gruppe zu beobachten. Gut kann ich mich noch an die steifen Gesicher beim Willkommenscocktail erinnern, doch die verschiedenen Jugendlichen wurden von Tag zu Tag lockerer und offener und mit der Zeit wurden wir eine richtige Gruppe. Die Verständigung war nicht immer einfach, doch mit Geduld und einem Lächeln auf den Lippen kann man jede Sprachbarriere überwinden.

Ich habe beim Gathering viele neue Erfahrungen gemacht und ich bin sicher, dass ich diese Zeit und die anderen Teilnehmer/innen nie vergessen werde.
