Change Agents in Zurich
When
somebody mentions Switzerland, everybody will think chocolates, watches and
money from all over the world... I will describe Switzerland as peaceful, clean
and friendly.

While we,
the Change Agents from Kosovo arrived at the Zurich airport, we had that
feeling of something new and something unique that will happen. Inside of the
city of Zurich I saw black& grey buildings, a clock tower, churches,
monuments, bridges that remind me of a past time, a glorious time with small
pieces of history, architecture and culture... very rich culture. In every
corner of the streets you see a clean place and modest people walking by,
always with a smile on their faces. After visiting one the most cultural cities
of Europe, together with my YMCA team we arrived out of the city in a greeny
forest, where we slept in a traditional Swiss house built in the 19th
century.
Over the next
days, our team was moved to a suburb side of Zurich in a place called
Volketswil, where the camp stuff was ready to be built.What was surprising was
the team spirit while we built all the tents and also the place where we had to eat. We also had activities and lessons for the Change Agents job description and
intentions for the future, and by night we had a campfire while we shared
‘’Stories of Injustice’’ from our countries.
The best
part in my opinion of this camp was the meeting face-to-face with different
Change Agents from all over Europe. I saw more closely people with European
culture and way of thinking, interesting stories and a some who had a fancy introduction of
themselves.

The European Change Agent training was the first
step of Change, a place where you can touch people's culture and share different ways of
thinking, I felt comfortable and exciting to
experience all this, a place that I've never been and people I've never met. With all the games and lessons in the
camp we had the chance to believe for ourselves and for a better future for young people.

All I have to
say to end is, camping is interesting if you try it with
friends! Traveling and exploring Zurich is luxurious.. try it and
feel it inside, just you.
