I am proud and happy to work with a team that puts their souls into everything they do, both inside and outside the project, and to have implemented an incredibly detailed, fun and educational project with the Pacem team for 9 days. I would like to thank Pacem Youth Association, which has perhaps created one of the best projects Türkiye possible has ever seen with Green Horizon and is trying to promote our country in the best way possible.

I've recently returned from the project and I still feel elated and excited about the project. Erasmus took place in amazing Istanbul, so in addition to the knowledge we gained at the workshops, we also visited the famous sights of Türkiye. The topic of the project was very relevant, and as a person who studies and works in the environment sciences, I can say for sure that we need to not just talk about it, we need to shout about it, because the situation on our planet is critical. Of course, the disadvantage of the project is the food from plastic containers, but I hope the comments on this will be taken into account. The project has given me incredible people of different nationalities, so I hope I will meet them again and, of course, visit Istanbul again. Erasmus is about life, about people, about unforgettable moments. I am grateful to the organisers for the opportunity to feel alive. Batman is the best ❤️

After the Green Horizon project, I left with many valuable experiences. Canoeing was a unique and enjoyable activity that allowed me to connect with nature. I also had the chance to learn about various countries' efforts on global warming and sustainability through presentations with my international friends. Visiting the botanical garden was particularly enlightening, as I gained insight into the importance of preserving biodiversity. Overall, it was an interesting experience that deepened my awareness of environmental issues.

I want to say that I had this experience in such a place for the first time. I am talking about Istanbul and its uniqueness. The city in which Asia and Europe came together looks powerful. Thanks to Erasmus+, I found new close people, learned more about Turkish culture, tried canoeing on the Bosphorus and visited new architectural monuments. I am a person who likes to show off and share my energy with the world. It was thanks to the international mix of interesting people that I had the opportunity to spread my knowledge and learn even more from others. Regarding the environmental theme of the project, I want to say that during this period I got even more motivated to care about animals and plants 🌱 . The trip to the waste recycling factory was unforgettable. This example became an engine for me to buy less plastic, reduce the consumption of unnatural materials and continue the path of a vegetarian. I hope my planted tree will grow and enrich this world with oxygen. Thank you to everyone who made efforts so that I was in that place at that time🙏.

In this youth project aimed at ecological awareness, I had the opportunity to observe the direct and indirect effects of both land and plant life and aquatic life on humans. I observed that I am a component of nature that affects and is affected rather than being a separate part as a human. I also exchanged stories with people from different participating countries. I would like to thank the Pacem team for all their efforts and hard work in this highly interactive and experience-based study.

Green Horizon erasmus + project was a great experience for me. The staff was really great and always available to our requests and temporary issues. Altough they were all of a young age they all were able to manage this erasmus as very mature people. This Erasmus bringed to me a lot of great memories in the roaring city of Istanbul. Personally my favourite day was when we went with the boats on the Bosforus , such a chill experience. The most important thing is that i made a lot of great friends that , with the help of god , i will be able to meet again one day. Overall , for being my 2nd ever erasmus was a great experience and i would totally recommend to someone who wants to know what it s like to be a Turkish man in Istanbul for one week.

For me green horizon project was a very valuable experience. Only after the project I can really understand how much work and effort it takes to organize a project in such a big city, respect! And still there was a lot of variety of activities, from having fun in the aqua park to enjoying the views while canoeing or learning about the local nature in the botanical garden. Besides that we had enough time to go around, drink tea and immerse ourselves in the rich culture of Istanbul and Turkey. All that aside the best part is still the new beautiful connections you make when traveling abroad! Real cool experience, thank you for that!!

Green horizon is the first project in which I take part as a team leader of students from Bulgaria, and as a participant. And like every first time in a person's life, such as the first pet, the first love, the first kiss, etc., this project will also remain unique and unforgettable. Unforgettable with the new horizons it has revealed to us; the new friendships that I hope we will maintain in the future; new perspectives for a better and brighter future. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the topic of the project, a topic that has been on the agenda in my country for many years. Since 2012, the campaign "Let's Clean Bulgaria for a Day" has been launched, in which, with the help of volunteers from all over the country, cleaning and waste collection are carried out in pre-selected locations. Secondly, I liked the agenda, perfectly balanced in terms of time for sessions with tasks and games, breaks, field activities by visiting different places directly related to a project.Traveling to the next destination, we had conversations with the participants about the project and different aspects of our lives, thus building a connection between us every day, which grew into new and unexpected friendships. We visited many interesting and beautiful corners of Istanbul, learned new and interesting things about how to protect and preserve the environment for future generations.In the botanical garden Nezahat Gökyiğit Botanik Bahçesi we saw some endangered or protected species, as well as incredible flora and fauna that we should appreciate and protect ... In Viaport Marina Tuzla we visited the Aquarium and the Lion Park where we enjoyed a few hours among amazing animals, we had talks about their life there. We planted saplings, leaving a part of ourselves as a reminder that if we want a better tomorrow we need to think and do something today.To be reasonable and responsible. In the end, no matter what I say, there is no way to describe in words the feelings and emotions I experienced during this adventure, and the pictures and memories I took with me home. Huge thanks to everyone behind this project, who gave their time and energy to organize this exceptional and amazing experience for us.Thank you for your hospitality and warm and friendly attitude.You were always there, you did everything possible to make us feel comfortable during our stay. As for the first project, you did a great job, and I hope this strong start will inspire you with new strength, ideas and enthusiasm to move forward to new projects, to new horizons. And don't forget that in Bulgaria you have like-minded people and new friends who will be happy to cross our paths again.
