The training will certainly forever be associated with rain for me!
During my short stay in Ljubljana, I got soaked to the skin, so the journey was not the most pleasant. Getting to the hostel in Idrija was also quite a challenge! Kamila and I had to climb endless stairs, along with our suitcases, during this particular downpour. Once we got there, however, the problems disappeared. Each participant had their own room during the training and the hostel was very tidy and spacious.
At the project, I met participants from Slovakia, Romania, Germany, Slovenia and Latvia. I particularly remember conversations with Slovaks, as we usually communicated in our own languages and were still able to understand everything.
The food was very tasty. What surprised me was that the owner of the hostel, who also cooked for us, had participated in MasterChef in Slovenia! She often cooked traditional food for us and was very helpful in all matters.
I had only participated in youth exchanges before, so I didn’t know what to expect from the training course. Certainly, the differences are a busier schedule and more activities focused on acquiring knowledge. Nevertheless, the project was interesting, and I learned a lot of useful information about AI and digital tools from it.
I must say that Slovenia is a beautiful country. It contains a lot of greenery, even in the capital itself. During the trip and my stay in Idrija, I paid a lot of attention to seeing the countryside, for which I am very grateful. 🙂 I would also like to thank LEVEL UP for the opportunity to participate in the project, and for the appropriate support. I would also like to thank Kamila for helping me during the trip and having a nice time!
I think international exchanges broaden horizons and guarantee unforgettable memories, so they are worth taking part in.

I learnt about different platforms for content creation, learning, presentation and team integration, but I also became more familiar with artificial intelligence and its application today.
Additionally, I saw how the Discord platform works and how helpful it is for communicating with the team or running projects.
It was 4 days full of knowledge, training, new friendships and experiences. I worked with teams from Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Latvia.
Many thanks to LEVEL UP for this opportunity.
If you don’t want to see beautiful places around the world, meet open, sincere and smiling people from different parts of the world and learn something new then don’t go!!! 😀
