The "ECA" (European citizenship academy) program, which took place in Nurri, Italy, was a great way to learn what the EU has to offer young people and gave us the opportunity to interact with young people from different countries.
More specifically, through the various activities that were organized we were able to learn more about the European Union, what it has to offer to everyone, especially young people and the concept of electronic participation. We had the opportunity to reflect and think of ways to solve many social issues facing the world right now through teamwork.
Furthermore, through the five participating countries, we got to know different European cultures, we saw the perspectives and opinions of other young people about the advantages and disadvantages of the European Union, but also about the problems they face in their countries. The most exciting experience is that we were able to try new foods, learn traditional dances and teach each other words to communicate. Of course, as we lived in Italy we learned about daily life there, traditions, customs and culture together with the locals.
All in all, it was a great week that I will always remember. All the new information I managed to collect, the new people I got close to, the friendships I made, led to a unique experience made up of memories of activities, free time and late night conversations.
