During our first (online) meeting with the local youth group, we began by introducing ourselves, sharing our backgrounds, and talking briefly about what we are currently involved in. This helped create a friendly and open atmosphere from the start.

We then introduced the Culture in Difference project, explaining its main objectives, our roles, and the upcoming activities and future trips planned within the project. The discussion allowed participants to better understand the purpose of the initiative and how they can contribute.

An important part of the meeting was the cultural exchange. The group, composed of young people with Ethiopian origins as well as Greek and Cypriot participants, shared personal experiences and discussed aspects of their different cultures. This created an engaging and meaningful dialogue, encouraging curiosity and mutual understanding.

Overall, the meeting was highly interactive, dynamic, and enjoyable, setting a positive tone for future collaboration.
