Rosto Solid\u00e1rio supported the participation of five Portuguese young women in a youth exchange in Austria<\/p>\n

Rosto Solid\u00e1rio supported the participation of five Portuguese young women \u2014 Eva, Beatriz, Emma, Sofia and Gabriela \u2014 in the Youth4Earth youth exchange, held under the Erasmus+ programme from 26 June to 3 July 2026 in the Carinthia region of Austria.<\/p>\n

The project brought together young people from different countries to reflect on sustainability, climate change and their responsibility in protecting the planet.<\/p>\n

Throughout the week, the participants deepened their knowledge of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through workshops, outdoor activities and non-formal learning.<\/p>\n

The programme also included a visit to the city of Klagenfurt, activities in nature, sports and a range of initiatives that encouraged interaction and exchange among young people from different nationalities.<\/p>\n

For the Portuguese participants, this was a memorable experience. They highlighted the friendships they made, their contact with new cultures and the knowledge they gained. \u201cI\u2019m taking with me new friendships, a lot of knowledge and experiences that I will cherish for the rest of my life,\u201d<\/em> shared one of the young women. Another highlighted that the experience allowed her to \u201cmeet incredible people, with very different cultures and perspectives.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Their message to other young people was clear: \u201cAllow yourself to step outside your comfort zone and explore new cultures. In the end, you realise that it is truly worth it.\u201d<\/em> They also described it as \u201ca very intense week, full of activities, learning and teamwork,\u201d<\/em> recommending Erasmus+ projects to anyone looking for new learning experiences and opportunities to broaden their horizons.<\/p>\n

Participation in this youth exchange reinforces Rosto Solid\u00e1rio\u2019s commitment to providing international mobility opportunities that promote active citizenship, environmental awareness and intercultural dialogue, with a particular focus on the participation of young people with fewer opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
