This Is Our Story

We are a group of young people who after many years participating and being involved in international events through other organizations have decided to create our own foundation. Collaborating with other organizations is always helpful for the process of learning and for gaining experience, but it also means that we were limited somehow. That is why we have decided to make of Cherry a Foundation. It will also give us a broader possibilities project wise with funds and different international programmes.

 

The name Cherry derives from the word cherish, which means "care and hold on something dear". That is exactly how we feel about every project (or event) we organize: protect/hold/care about it! We want to create the perfect mix between content and service delivery to our participants and partners. 

 

Our methods are non formal learning and learning by doing. It means that people learn spontaneously by participating in activities, being faced with particular situations/issues for which they need to find a solution, as individuals or as a group. 

​

To have an idea regarding our work and the impact we create we invite you to have a look at the documentary 'Exchanged' below. It gives a great impression on how internationalisation can open up a closed community.

​

Our aim is to promote international events throughout Europe in which we involve youngsters coming from deprived backgrounds, mainly those from rural areas.

 

Our vision is to give people the chance to discover their own potential in order to create a better world for themselves, others and the planet.

 

Our mission is to organise youth exchanges, trainings and other projects related to European programs.
