Youth exchange between Ukraine and the Netherlands. Looking back
As part of the Youth friendly Parishes exchange programme, 11 participants went to the Netherlands to get to know and exchange experiences with local youth.
In seven days, the programme participants managed to get acquainted with the culture and life of their colleagues and present their own.
‘We did not expect that exchange to be so interesting, warm, and open,’ shares Natalia Lialiuk, project manager of the Ukrainian Education Platform, ‘During that time, we managed to get closer to each other, we looked at the life of the local community, cooked and tasted traditional dishes, walked around Amsterdam and spent evenings in joint gatherings. The last day was spent in a joint prayer for the victory of Ukraine; that day was the most difficult for us because it was the day of completion and farewell to all participants of the programme.’
We remind you that the project Youth friendly Parishes
is implemented by the CO “Ukrainian Education Platform” with the support of Kerk in Actie
