Youth Exchange Experience – Damla Üzümcü

Hi, I am Damla from Turkey. I am 27 years old. While this project isn’t my first, I have ample experience with Erasmus+. I believe Youth Exchange projects offer invaluable opportunities for young people. Through these projects, we can engage in volunteering, make friends from diverse backgrounds, and immerse ourselves in new cultures and languages.

It has reignited my confidence. My time in Popova Sapka was truly delightful, as I have a profound love for nature. The participants and coordinators alike were incredibly warm and welcoming. The project primarily focused on website design, and all participants showed a keen interest in the subject. Each session included new information and was enjoyable.

I have visited North Macedonia before and explored Skopje and Ohrid. During my last visit, thanks to this project, I had the opportunity to go to Tetovo with my friends. The shared values, history, and culture between Turkey and Macedonia make me eager to revisit.

Thank you 😊
