about this project
Dream Big, Achieve More: Networking gathered 35 representatives from 16 youth organisations across 12 countries — including Wild Geese — in the same Tatra-mountain village as Study Lab, hosted this time by the Polish youth organisation New Frontiers. Where Study Lab trains individual youth workers, this seminar was built for organisations: a week of workshops, keynotes and structured networking time aimed at turning good conversations into real partnerships and joint project ideas.
