Youth Exchange program report

What is this ? - "Explore and Learn"

"Explore and Learn" is the motto of youth exchange program, that was carried out from 7 to 16 October 2011 in the area of Dryanovo monastery, Bulgaria. Twenty-two young people from Bulgaria and Albania contributed to the success of this project by sharing experience and knowledge in the field of Speleology (the scientific study of caves and other karst features) and outdoor activities. Using the methods of informal education, learning by doing, learning in couples, the young Bulgarian Speleologists shared their personal experience with the Albanians and gave them basic knowledge in caving

Participant opinions:

Vasil Angelov:

“The Youth exchange helped me a lot to learn how to communicate. I don’t look the same at home and I will be glad if I bring at least a little spark at home. Expanded my mind“

Redi Muci:

“Got a basic understanding of how to use caving equipment and a first impression of cave exploration. Learned new things about team work, solidarity among cavers, responsibility and new ways to digest information faster.”
