Feedback from Footstep 12 in Slovakia 3

The next bit of feedback from Footstep 12 comes from Lenka. Lenka works for KERIC in Cadca and helped to organise and run the conference; her energy and enthusiasm provided so much momentum, she is a star!

I was involved in the conference Footstep 12 as a organiser from host organisation KERIC for first time this year 2010 and it was amazing experience full of positive and enthusiastic people ready for positive changes and open to new possibilities and ideas.

We were sharing experiences, different points of views of ecological issues, voluntary work –how to motivate youngsters, ways of work with children, youth and adults, different kind of outdoor activities (philosophy walk, moving forward, parachute games,…. ). We got new useful skills and knowledge. Different cultures and so similar ideas were leading to cooperation and new projects in local and also international level (especially. – the EU programme 'Youth in Action' - European Voluntary Service)

During conference were participants hosted in families from Čadca. It was big cultural experience for both sides and through international breakfasts and dinners we could taste a bit of different cultures which brought us a little bit closer.

I can only say, I am looking forward to other projects, activities, ideas, challenges, cooperation through Global Footsteps!
