1st Activity: [High School in Plovdiv, Bulgaria]
On 07. 12 the event S. T. O. P - for Fair Trade and Responsible Consumers took place. After a short energizer, a presentation was given on the essence of the global movement and the role of Bulgarian citizens as citizens of Europe and the world. We had a discussion about the game Banana Split and ended with a short quiz. On the threshold of the event's finale, all participants received certificates of participation. The event was attended by 28 students and 3 teachers. Thank you for your inspiration!
Overall, the follow-up activity aims to extend the impact of the Youth Exchange project by sharing its outcomes with high school students in Plovdiv.

The youth project was very inspirational. I wasn't informed about the topic before, but right now I know its essentials and how I, as a person, can take actions. I was amazed by the group and the people there - I met some really nice girls and boys who got my heart right on the spot. The organization was perfect. I'm glad each activity took its place just on time and in place, it's nice to stick to the schedule. I found the facilitators very charming. They were presenting with smiles and all the information was served easy and understandable. I am glad I participated in such a great project as my first Erasmus + project.

I was proud to participate in the Erasmus+ project "Fair Trade & Responsible Customers" in Limassol, Cyprus, and it was an experience I'll always remember!It was incredible to meet people from all over the world with whom I will always keep in touch with. We shared stories, learned about each other's cultures, and realized that despite our differences, we all have lots of things in common. One of the coolest things I learned was how to work effectively in a diverse team. Understanding what you are truly paying for in our everyday lives and how it contributes to the producers and their lives is really important. I am grateful for such an unforgettable experience and I am looking forward to many other Erasmus + projects ahead since once Erasmus, always a traveler at heart.

About the last fascinating project in Cyprus 🇨🇾🇨🇾🇨🇾 about the Fair trade and responsible consumers - I am so glad that I met so many wonderful people. I had amazing experience working in teams and communicating with everyone. I feel fantastic to have had the opportunity to participate. 🥳✨
The activities were fun, got us involved in the topic and made good connections between the different countries.❤️ We learned a lot about the Fair trade movement, its structure. We know how to find it, how to spread awareness, why it is so important for our society and environment. Working in teams thaught us to be inclusive but also to prepare a start-up plan and to understand better our competences.
Thank you so much @acpelia_cyprus ❤️ and @erasmus_plus_projects
I am looking forward to going on my next Erasmus + experience 🥰
