Rafael Cruz
ASEAN Exchange Programme

During my OneASEAN exchange programme, I spent several weeks engaging in community-based projects while learning alongside youths from across Southeast Asia. In addition to exploring a new country, I valued the friendships formed through group activities, shared accommodation, and cultural exchanges. It was inspiring to learn how youths from different backgrounds share similar aspirations despite cultural differences. I also gained a better understanding of regional cooperation and the importance of youth participation in ASEAN initiatives. Before this experience, I never imagined myself taking part in a regional exchange. Now, I am more open to cross-border opportunities and feel better prepared to work in multicultural environments in the future.

ASEAN Youth Exchange

As part of a OneASEAN youth exchange programme, I participated in activities focused on climate action and sustainability. I travelled to a neighbouring ASEAN country and worked closely with youths who share similar concerns for the environment. Apart from project work, I appreciated the cultural exchanges, group discussions, and site visits that deepened my understanding of regional environmental challenges. It was meaningful to learn how climate issues affect communities differently across Southeast Asia. This experience strengthened my motivation to continue advocating for sustainability and showed me the value of regional collaboration among young leaders.

Test Prog

On my DiscoverEU trip, I travelled to Austria, Slovakia, Italy and Switzerland, partly to visit friends and partly to explore the countries myself. In addition to all the landscapes and cities, I particularly enjoyed the day trips and evenings with new friends from the youth hostels and shared flats. It’s super interesting and fun to talk, cook and visit cities with people of the same age from all over the world. I also learnt what great opportunities Interrail offers us. I don’t know if I would ever have bought an Interrail ticket without DiscoverEU. Now I know that this Interrail journey was definitely not my last. The feeling of travelling by train alone, as a couple or in a small group through different countries is great.
