"Brave Enough: Young Women and Allies to Move Freely and Without Fear," a youth exchange in Bassano Del Grappa ๐ฎ๐น, from August 24 to September 4, 2026, on the themes of freedom of movement, safety in public spaces, and mutual respect.
36 young people from Italy, Turkey, Greece, France, Bulgaria, and Latvia met in Bassano del Grappa to experience this Erasmus+ Youth Exchange together. In these first few days, we did lots of small activities to get to know each other, break the ice, and start building the group.
And thenโฆ City Rally! ๐โโ๏ธ๐
An afternoon exploring Bassano to discover its corners, stories, and curiosities.
And we're just getting started. ๐
Bassano is absolutely beautiful, isn't it?ย
Especially when you get to experience an Erasmus+ youth exchange here.ย
And we are only halfway through! ๐โจ
๐ฃ๏ธ With our Erasmus+ project "Brave Enough," we worked on two things that concern us all.
With Giorgia: how to recognize risky situations and make public spaces safer.
With Francesca: emotions, reactions, and those mechanisms we sometimes use without even realizing it.
With Edo : the social activities such as the getting to know each other game, the intercultural night and the city rally
A day at Villa Savarando, between nature and activities ๐ณ
With Giorgia and Francesca, the participants took part in a workshop exploring the world of emotions and needs. Understanding their own needs to recognize those of others.
Less theory, more discussion.
And this is also part of the beauty of an Erasmus+ experience: learning new things without being stuck in a classroom. โจ
With the Erasmus+ Brave Enough project, we met Libere di Viaggiare. They talked to us about solo travel and, in particular, the experience of traveling as a woman. ๐
Through advice, experiences, and tips & tricks, we discovered new tools to approach our next trips with greater awareness, confidence, and self-confidence.
A special thanks to @liberediviaggiare for sharing valuable advice with us! ๐ซ
One evening, six cultures, infinite connections!
The teams from ๐ฎ๐น Italy, ๐ฌ๐ท Greece, ๐ง๐ฌ Bulgaria, ๐ฑ๐ป Latvia, ๐ซ๐ท France, and ๐น๐ท Turkey brought a piece of their culture with them, sharing foods, flavors, traditions, and stories.
With full bellies, the evening continued with music, traditional dances, and lots of laughter.
A moment to remember that diversity isn't distance: it's an opportunity for connection and discovery!
