Greece – Intercultural Competencies
In August 2021 ELREC staff members and volunteers went to Rethimno in Greece to attend a week-long course on Intercultural Competencies.
Thanks to the EU Erasmus Plus of the European Union for this amazing learning opportunity.
See their testimonies below:
“The great Cretan writer, Nikos Kazantzakis, once said ‘true teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross’ – Thank you so much to all at EELI and Yannis, for being that bridge to the wonderful land and people of Crete! Cheers,”

Egypt – World Youth Forum
In January 2022, our Administrator Franciele Sobierai joined the World Youth Forum in Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt. The World Youth Forum is a platform built by promising youth. It sends a message of peace, prosperity, harmony, and progress to the entire world. It engages youth from around the globe in an enriching set-up, allowing them to exchange views and recommend initiatives to decision-makers and influential figures.
Testimony: “I am thrilled to have had a chance to join this event, I have engaged with policymakers and networked with youth from different parts of the world. In addition to this, I attended many interesting workshops such as “Towards a safer and more inclusive world for women” and “How to combat climate change”. It was a wonderful and enriching adventure, thanks to ELREC for all the support given to me and thanks to WYF for funding this experience.”
