I enjoyed the project really much. I think the project topic is really important and I think its objectives have been fulfilled. I like how much effort the hosting organization put into the project. I liked their energy and their openness to everyone’s opinion, contribution, and suggestions. I also liked the energy of the group. The whole project really influenced me in the positive way. I learned to be more relaxed with new people and to feel free to express my ideas, feeling more confident. I liked the workshops and activities, especially those spent in the park, energizers, and all of the time we spent together.
European Center for Youth Initiatives (ECIM) is doing a great job in widening horizons and delivering opportunities to youth in Poland and abroad. ECIM is one of the most reliable partners we have when talking about international cooperation. Their sense of initiative and dedication to do the difference in the lifes of youth is just incredible and we are proud to admit that exchange of good practices and its implementation in our local environment works surprisingly good!
It was a pleasure for me to take part on this project and a very good opportunity to know people from different european countries. I really learnt to be organised, to be participant and self-confident, to get different skills and competences. The project was perfectly planned, every activity was very motivating and interesting and I really thank to the organisators their hardwork and initiative to make it possible.
I am really thankful to ECIM for this Erasmus plus training:Make the connection. I had an amazing time with really inspiring people from around Europe. We had great activities,energizers, games focused on teamwork, cooperation, project management and cultural awareness. It was a great learning experience and I am sure I am gonna use the new knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors to make future projects and cooperations happen. Thank you very much

ECIM made a good job organizing this contact making seminar! I’ve got inspired in youth work and mobility, also was able to learn more abot myself, how I handle certain situations, what motivates and what demotivates me.
The hospitality was perfect, I enjoyed my time there, definitely will go back to Poland to explore its rich culture even more.
Meeting with different foreign organizations and getting to know their aim and work inspired me for future collaboration.
Another well organized project! Everything was perfect, accommodation, food, and other facilities which created friendly learn environment. I met here a lot of people and had chance to cooperate with them during interesting workshops, which seriously, gave me personally a lot!
ECIM is a very reliable partner and they have organised a great contact making seminar.
Ola and Marcin are very enthusiastic and committed to youth work, it was great to have met them in person and I am sure this was just the beggining of a very fruitful partnership.
See you soon. 🙂
Huge thanks to our hosts, ECIM, for making the whole project happen and run as smoothly as it did.
The ECMS gave me the opportunity to meet some intelligent and well-rounded individuals and explore the splendor of Old Krakow. Regarding my personal expectations and objectives for the project, they have been fulfilled at more than 100%. I enjoyed the energy of the whole group and how it helped people, me included, develop our soft skills. During the various workshops provided by the different national groups, I have become more able to deal with conflicts that have arisen, as well as to learn more about myself and my attitude to different types of approach in the non-formal education.
Overall, ECMS made me dig deeper into the problems we share among our societies and find practical solutions to them. Also, it was a valuable experience as it motivated me to devote more time and effort for youth work.
It was an amazing opportunity for me to take part on this project and learn a lot. I spent a great time with you, developed a lot of my skills by learning and playing.

I appreciate the professional work of European Center for Youth Initiative(ECIM) during the Seminar! For sure the seminar developed the sustainable partnership between my organization EuroDEMOS and ECIM.

In our future projects we intend to cooperate with the other partner organizations according to the common topics that we discovered during the seminar activities. Special thank from all the heart to the organizers Marcin and Ola!
The members of ECIM were attentive and helpful. They organised a project with superb logistics (accommodation, food, etc) and a huge variety of activities and workshops, which gave me an insight into the Erasmus+ projects and the possibilities it has to offer.
