Jakub Bartczak: It was my first Erasmus trip. I am delighted with the young people I have met from many European countries. The meeting of young people and their leaders was a great opportunity to get to know their everyday life, customs and temperament. During the project, together with the participants, I was able to acquire a lot of valuable information and skills regarding saving clothes, reprocessing clothes, and the issue of injustice in the production of clothes. The project site Cyprus amazed me with the beauty of nature and the incredibly friendly people and inhabitants of this island. I was the leader of my group of young people from Poland, I am glad that they could practice English, meet great people from many countries, acquire knowledge and skills in the wise use of clothing and spend beautiful time on the wonderful island of Cyprus.

Kacper Chorążewski: It was the great few days. I learned a lot about ecology and fashion. I meet many fantastic people and I'm thankful for that, and I'm glad that I could practice my English skills in practice. I'm really grateful for the time on Cyprus.
