This project was life changing and ground breaking because of the opportunity to meet incredible people that will stay in my life forever.
Leaving an impact in this House and in this community made me feel having an importance in this organization, in the world and in my country. It inspired a lot in my personal life.

An adventurous, creative, "anthropological" May: discovering a new country, its breath-taking landscapes, customs, inhabitants
and the wonderful people with whom I shared everything.
Rishavraj
from Germany
It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It not only allowed me to contribute to the well-being of the Bulgarian rural areas but also helped me grow as an individual.
I leave with a greater appreciation for life's simple pleasures and a commitment to living more sustainably and connected to my cultural heritage.
Vianne
from France
It was definitely a challenge to live with so many strangers at the beginning but we managed very well. Thanks to the energy everyone put into the everyday tasks.
I'm so thankful that I got the chance to met all these people, so many memories were created this month that I'd like to tell to others.

I got to live together with 15 lovely people from all around Europe which was very interesting and gave me the chance to really get close and connect with many of them.
Senja
from Finland
Doing my group's project, which was improving the river entrance, I learned how to plan projects realistically and to do hands-on work that I haven’t really done much before.
I learned a lot. I learned about different cultures, people, sustainability and hands-on work.

from Italy
During the "Eyes Wide Open" project, I experienced a surge of creativity due to the sudden change in lifestyle.
It was great to connect with locals and to discover remote villages.
Gonçalo
from Portugal
Without access to a computer throughout the project, I decided to blend my passion for graphic design with my experiences here to create a zine featuring some of my favourite moments.
Living as a community, immersing ourselves in a different culture, adapting to new circumstances, sharing moments with people felt like a breath of fresh air for me.

To sum up my experience and learning during this project in Synergy house, it was an amazing experience and i thought the best way to represent all the things

With Eyes Wide Open, I learned to be more adaptive and how to build furniture! I also met really amazing people and saw the most beautiful landscapes!
Amandine
from France
40 hours by bus and 6 countries crossed led me to live an amazing month in Synergy House! I am very grateful of it!
​I would recommend it to adventurous people who love to face challenges.
Samuel
from Germany
Sustainablity, Recycling and Upcycling became bigger topics over the years. Because every individual person produces a lot of trash, Me and my garden partner built a vertical garden out of plastic bottles.
With that i wanted to proof the importance to me and the world and that its time to have an impact, at least as an individual!
Sophie
from Germany
By finishing the personal projects like painting the wall of the Synergy house I could see the outcomes of this project, which made it even more colourful.
I was full of gratefulness and joy. During this 30 days the weak colour from the beginning turned into a deep intense one.
