"Health is Your Wealth" Youth Exchange, 4-13 August 2024, Cēsis, Latvia

The "Health is Your Wealth" Youth Exchange brought together 25 teenagers from Latvia, Jordan, Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland, and Hungary to raise awareness about the dangers of addiction and promote healthier lifestyles. Hosted by the Latvian Association for Youth Activists in Cēsis, Latvia, this initiative was co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ program.

Feedback from Desert Bloom’s participants:

"Our participation in this project was truly transformative, enriching our lives in many ways. By focusing on both physical and mental well-being, we embraced a more holistic approach to health, addressing harmful habits and adopting healthier lifestyle choices.

Through interactive workshops and collaborative activities, we enhanced our interpersonal skills and discovered the importance of teamwork. Moreover, we gained a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures, expanding our perspectives through meaningful cross-cultural exchanges. We are deeply grateful to Desert Bloom for providing us with this life-changing opportunity."
