Esztergom – where is it? I have never heard about this place and I was curious what to expect. Esztergom is located in Hungary, north of Budapest. This town lovely placed by the Danube river is the third place with the biggest cathedral in Europe – I have never known about this fact before.
37 young people from all Europe met between 30.06 and 06.07.2014 in Esztergom – including myself Theresa Hartmann – President of Kolping Youth Bavaria.
Organizers provided us with a rich program, including sightseeing and learning about the Hungarian culture. During a visit to Budapest we could see the Parliament and had time to explore the city. Beyond the cultural program of the Kolping Youth Week participants learned better thoughts and works of Adolph Kolping, especially his thinking about professional work. During the workshop we could expand our knowledge of the recruitment process to work and conducting job interview.
Despite the fact that there were a lot of activities we had time to play also. Participants prepared short presentations on the European countries, furthermore we could taste typical dishes for these countries. Dancing, laughter and fun … without borders and language barriers!
That week I have gained a lot of great experiences, I found many new friends and just have fun. Maybe next time you’ll take part in the Kolping Youth Week?
