Aware Thinker | Youth Exchange:
The first learning program called "Aware Thinker" took place in England. Thirty five young people from seven countries across Europe came. During 10 days the participants have realized a lot of activities to build a community,

Feedback from bulgarians: That was nice for us to meet people from different countries and the training was emotionally intense.
