The testimonies of Ukrainian teenagers best illustrate the success of the event: “Our trip to Romania was amazing! In these 3 days we learnt a lot of new and useful information about ecology. I think such activities are very important. Especially nowadays when environmental issues have become very topical. During the trip I learnt a lot of new information about the Carpathian forests, I saw unprecedented samples of flora and fauna, I learnt what dead wood is and how important it is for the preservation of the forest ecosystem”. (Participant from Ivano-Frankivsk) “I did not expect such a trip. I got good experience in different spheres and this will help me to choose a profession in the future. I would also like to say that I received a lot of positive, unforgettable emotions. I was amazed by your kindness, attentiveness and friendliness! (Participant from Izmail)
