What Young People think

I participated in the European Youth Event as I wanted to get more involved with the EU. As an island nation, we are cut off from the rest of mainland Europe. This makes it harder to feel connected to the EU. The EYE event gave me this opportunity.

The EYE was a platform where my voice could be heard and my ideas could make a difference.

They are always just one phone call or text message away if I need them.

I planned to take on a Student Exchange to Spain in Transition Year so I could make the most of the year. I did a lot of research and came across Eurodesk, which pointed me in the right direction for useful information and contacts. Through Eurodesk, I found a host family in Logroño in Spain. I learned a lot about myself during my year in Spain, experiencing a different everyday environment and meeting so many new people. It’s such a valuable experience, I would recommend it to anyone.
