In the period from January 15 to 24, 2025, COD Jajce volunteers had the opportunity to be part of an international youth exchange in Samobor, Croatia. The exchange brought together young people from Spain, Jordan, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and hosts from Croatia, and the focus of the program was emotional intelligence under the name “EQ for contemporary life”.

Participants learned about motivation, the influence of social networks and personal development through interactive workshops, and the digital detox workshop, organized by one of the participant groups, attracted special attention. Through creative activities, the participants drew and tried yoga positions, which enabled relaxation and a better connection with themselves and others.

In addition to the educational part, the cultural exchange evenings were the highlight of the program – young people presented their traditions, music and culinary specialties, creating a unique atmosphere of mutual understanding and friendship.

A stay in picturesque Samobor, surrounded by nature and rich history, further enriched this experience. The youth exchange enabled the participants not only to acquire new knowledge, but also to establish lasting friendships and international cooperation.

COD Jajce continues to support young people through participation in international projects, providing them with the opportunity for learning, travel and personal development.
