Dare to dream

What's something you have done at this session which you couldn't have imagined doing three days ago?

By Marylyn Rosenqvist

"Showering with a bunch of girls naked because I've never experienced that, so it's a brand new experience for me. That was quite shocking because it never happens in Turkey."

"This girl just started stripping and that's all right because anybody can do that in a locker room. But then she stripped completely and we were like 'woah!' "

Ayliz Baykut (TR), delegate of TRAN and Simay Toker (TR), delegate of AFCO :
Alexandra Achim (RO), Media Team member:

"This session is the first one that I'm outside my country and I never thought that this would happen as I joined EYP this year. I never pictured myself taking videos of people and getting to socialise with so many different types of personalities."

"Speaking up so much and in English for such a huge crowd, even if it's not that big, I usually get very nervous worked but it worked perfectly well this time."

"Taking up a political stand in such big groups, and to be able to speak politically and express myself in larger groups."

Heidi Kaarto (FI) and Wilma Staffans (FI), delegates of AFET:

"All the technology stuff, because I have no idea how to use the microphones and speaker systems at the school, but now I know everything and everything has been going really well with them."

Ninni Issakainen (FI), tech organiser and leader of the venue team:

"I've had some really good friends that I didn't actually believe I would have."

"I made several points in GA. I thought I was going to be really quiet not do anything, just see what it's like, but I saw that it wasn't that hard so I tried."

Emmi Kortteinen (FI) and Laura Hänninen (FI), delegates of CULT:

"I fell in the snow the first day dragging my luggage. I fell and almost broke my head so I almost died. In Finland. That's something I was not expecting."

Bryce "Bruce" García (ES), chairperson of AFET:

What's something you didn't believe you'd do during #JYRS17?
