Looking for our logo
There is no good youth exchange without good logo and it is high time to look for the logo for our exchange. As not all of us are tallented in multimedia, we asked some of our friends to help us with creating the logo of "Grow with the flow". There are planty of ideas and all of them are very interesting... but we have to decide something... We found out that having an owl in the logo is nice and very connected to the place we are going to stay in... What do you think about them? Any other ideas?

First visit on Motta Visconti!
“Grow with the flow” is going to be sooner than later now! The Advance Planning Visit has just finished and all of us who were there are the homes now. It is quite far from Italy and future camping but it doesn’t change the thing that the exchange is in our minds now!
Leaders from all organizations which are going to take part in the project met last weekend. I was there too and I swear that the climate of the meeting was awesome. It is a very good sign for the rest of the project! We managed to plan everything and have lot of fun!
The place we are going to stay is calm and beautiful. It is good to relax and do some sports what is already planned! Rafting, canoeing, biking, trekking, visiting some places, adventures with constructing tents…. All of these is waiting for the participants of the exchange! And even more… Night sounds of the forest ! Scary? Rather not if you have friends next to you! And I can assure you that all of us will we friends there! Just be careful with saying “hallo” to people you meet there… After ATP I can give you some useful tips for the beginning of our exchange: don’t kiss Italians in their cheeks when you say “hi” for the first time (unless they are from the south), kiss Spanish (it is obligatory), with Turkish you can try but with Polish and Bulgarians don’t even try (unless they have Latin mood). As you can see meeting of group leaders is very efficient!
