You are the world

Youth exchange
4 – 13 October, 2022
Lioni (Avellino, Naples), Italy

Goals of the youth exchange

“You were born with potential
You were born with goodness and trust
You were born with ideals and dreams
You were born with greatness
You were born with wings
You are not meant for crawling, so don't
You have wings
Learn to use them and fly”

Rumi

“We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me”
