Together we can change the world, Tunia
‘Together we can change the world’ Erasmus+ UK Ecorys 4 Countries Uk Lithuania Turkiye & Tunisia 8 days on a Youth Exchange with participants from UK, Lithuania, Turkiye and our magnificent hosts from Tunisia. All the above countries came together to share their knowledge on desertification and increase knowledge & awareness of Tunisia and its challenges faced. We first landed in Tozeur and rested at a local Youth hostel and destination for 5 days, this was out of our own comfort zones and meant as nations we had to find inner strength and resilience. We came as strangers and met for the first time and took part in various workshops and Cultural nights to learn from each other, outdoor visits to local museums and forests were amazing experiences. We visited the local shops and supermarkets, communicated with them in English. We received amazing support from the Tunisian team comprising from Amany Benjeddou, Mr Abdullah, Mohammad, Souzan, Ameen and Aysha and others too. Their hospitality and desire to help was highly appreciated. When your on youth exchanges people come together and talk and develop communication skills increase their self confidence too. Last few days we moved to djerba and a beautiful location within Tunisia and the magnificent and awesome Sahara desert had its own natural beauty. So Auvoir we said and just before leaving we were told that the Ministry of Youth for Tunisia had allocated a grant of $10,000 dollars to the Youth hostel in Tozeur to be refurbished and updated, so we came together as we can change the world and created the change for the youth of tozeur and look forward to seeing the results in the year ahead and maybe reunion. Thanks for the memories and your hospitality, see you soon ! #togetherwecanchangetheworld
