EMPIRES

We are looking for 5 young participants and 1 youth leader from Bulgaria, aged 18 to 25, interested in history, peace, democracy, and human rights, to join the youth exchange “EMPIRES” in Veli Lošinj, Croatia.

This exchange is the perfect opportunity for you if:

– You are curious about historical empires and their impact on modern society. – You want to explore topics such as imperialism, colonialism, and their consequences on democracy and human rights. – You are eager to participate actively in discussions, workshops, and intercultural exchanges. – You are open-minded and willing to share living spaces with participants from other countries.

The youth exchange “EMPIRES” will bring together 33 participants from Croatia, Serbia, Estonia, Spain, and Bulgaria. During the project, participants will examine historical empires, their goals, and their effects on today’s global peace, democracy, and human rights through interactive activities, debates, and multicultural teamwork.

Participants will work in international teams, develop critical thinking and presentation skills, and explore historical lessons that can be applied to contemporary global challenges.

Please note: This is an educational project, not a vacation. Accommodation and meals are provided in basic, shared facilities.
