The sessions were planned in such a way that you couldn't feel bored or tired. I think that it is a very important point which was accomplished with success by the organizers of this event. All the trainers were professionals and did their job as good as possible. The information was delivered to the audience with clarity and enthusisasm. They were able to capture our attention and involve us in a spirited debate. We were in a permanent interaction with them, so that the sessions have never become some kind of theoretical lessons. I especially enjoyed the sessions which were leaded by Daniela and Reghina. We have ceceived a lot of new and useful information regarding the notion of "Partnershp". Details...

Ever wonder how is to receive a hug from a stranger? But how is to offer it to somebody you cross with you on a street, someone who passes nearby for some seconds only? Can we hug anybody?

This is about contact with our fellow-citizens :) Imagine our countries were alone on different islands of the same ocean but the only connection between them was our YTNF boat. The question is how to most effective create the opportunity to express themselves…This is how the idea of SOS Bottle appeared! Being alone on an island they follow the traditional procedure of sending SOS messages in a bottle, making therefore a call for rescue and help from distress… There are lots of us out here who struggle with our issues that are willing to listen, talk and offer encouragement and support to those who feel alone, people from our societies.
