WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOWO?
Thanks to YoWo Poland, I had the opportunity to visit different countries and learn about different cultures, which has always been incredibly inspiring and educational. If you are looking for an organization that organizes the best Erasmus projects, you have found the right place. I recommend this organization wholeheartedly!
I discovered my passion to work with young people back in 2021, in my first project with YoWo Poland. I always wanted to work in the field, but I didn’t know how. In the Erasmus+ training about social entrepreneurship, I learnt about how to make my project real, and look at me now 2 years later, I’m waiting for my first project about emotional education to be approved!! I can’t recommend YoWo Poland enough. They are so passionate about their work and so approachable. Without them I wouldn’t be here.
Looking up the words “reliability,” “professionalism,” and “credibility” in the dictionary, there should be the logo of YoWo Poland and its members next to them. In fact, there should be a separate entry just for them: YoWo is by far the best organization I have ever collaborated with. Working with them is a pleasure, thanks to their approach to non-formal education methods, their open-mindedness, their dedication to increasing the quality of youth work and their motivation to make the world a better place. More than an association, they are a family to me!
