Students are generally totally delighted, first of all with meeting new people with whom they became friends, so that immediately upon returning they formed a facebook group, and now regularly communicate.Professor
For students from one rarely inhabited isolated place they experienced a lot of new things and highlight the linguistic and cultural diversity of other students. I am not familiar with everything that has been going on, but they say there were a lot of different personalities, but your program and weather conditions which have forced them to communicate and collaborate, helped them to become more open and communicative with all people in general. Students also liked a lot the location, the chalet, and the very concept of activities and stay on Papuk. They did not like the fact that it was very cold and sometimes uncomfortable, nevertheless they unanimously agree they would be happy to do it all over again and together with other students are looking forward to new adventures of this kind. Being aware of the conditions their children are growing up in and the benefits of your program, parents expressed their support to this and all other prospective future activities. They are aware that their children must expand direct experiences with others and gain broader personal and social skills. Equally important are direct experiences, because in this environment, children have nothing else to do beside doing housework, work in the barn, field or forest, perhaps only tv or cell phone.” They did not like the fact that it was very cold and sometimes uncomfortable, nevertheless they unanimously agree they would be happy to do it all over again and together with other students are looking forward to new adventures of this kind.

I liked to observe how our students are changing while being in new situations, how they help and support each other. I would like to see this approach implemented in regular school curriculum.Professor, Architectural Technical School Zagreb

I would recommend the program precisely because of the number of skills we gained here, such as responsibility, self-awareness and teamwork, that we do not develop in our everyday life. What I liked the most was realising the importance of teamwork, and what are my abilities and fears. I learned in practice the meaning of the verb 'empower'The participant of the 8-day program
I would recommend this course to everyone, because it's such an aberration from everyday life that you have to get out of this experience as a changed person if you embrace all the challenges given. I would definitely describe myself now, after the training, as more in tuned with myself and who I actually am.The participant of the 8-day program
Climbing was the best part for me becausue I find it cool how you have to believe in others and in yourself. What I liked least was the fact that we did not stay long enough to see and try more things. I learned that we should help each other and have confidence in people around us.The participant of the 8-day program
