Gonzalo
During this project, I got an understanding of the importance of planning in a longer perspective.
Especially I appreciated the workshop about personal project preparation.
Giulia
I loved the co-creating process since the first week and having more time to go deeper into our emotional state since a lot of things happened and I needed to be integrated.
I learned that it's important to take care of yourself first, the rest will come.
Stephanie
I fell in love with the place!! Hopeland has amazing energy and I felt at home. Hosting, mentors and in general people who are living in Hopeland made me feel very cozy, welcomed and motivated to work!
During this experience I learned how to organise and plan a project and this helped me a lot!
Jacopo
Hopeland is a unique place and I love it as it is. If Hopeland was different it wouldn't be Hopeland. And I'm grateful for that, and for the time we spent here.
One of the biggest learning I want to share with others is that people are important.
Emile
I learned to share my emotions and not to be ashamed in this very beautiful place.
This project is perfect for those who are adventure-seeking and nature lovers, with strong work ethics and open to new experiences and people of various backgrounds
Gagou
I'm bringing back with me a lot of insights I've gained: cooperate on a personal project of building a shelf from A to Z, from the sheet to the wall, and gaining confidence coordinating on it.
I appreciated the training processes, the way they would help us gain confidence with everything around
Giulia
I learned that time is the most precious of resources and I shouldn't rush it.
I'm thankful for allowing me to live this experience and for sharing the beautiful place
Konstantins
The main learning outcome was self-acceptance and that there's a huge world outside of my comfort zone that I'm yet to discover.
The mentors were great. It seemed that everyone involved in the hosting organisation knew what they were doing. It's beyond words what level of maturity and experience I felt from you guys.
Nikoleta
Nature has everything we need while you connect with fellow humans.
I felt supported and I hope in the future I will have more chances to be back in this place and meet the people who made this possible to happen again and again.
Flo
I loved that we were given a lot of trust, and the space felt like it was ours as much as the others and that responsibilities were shared.
This made this a truly meaningful trying out of actually living in a community and not just being a guest passing (also with regard to the personal project!).
Raquel
Everything was perfect, seriously. I've learned how to live in a community, do gardening, and learn eco-building skills.
Alessio
I felt supported and I hope in the future I will have more chances to be back in this place and meet the people who made this possible to happen again and again.
I've learned that nature has everything we need while we connect with fellow humans.
Anastasia
I realised that working-cooperating with other people gives me more energy and motivation and I would love to be part of smaller or bigger communities in my life.
I appreciate that we had also a very clear mentoring, mostly from Martinz, on the practical stuff. I learned a lot from him showing us and then giving us the space to learn on our own.
Alexandra
THANK YOU for the amazing experience! I did regain the hope, happiness and inspiration that I have been lacking for so long. The magic we felt at Hopeland is still within me.
I also appreciate how well we were led and introduced to all the activities we did. Now I know more about the importance of honesty and self-love
Constantine
People were good and friendly, I really enjoyed the team, they were very knowledgeable and helpful during the project.
