If you want to explore a new city, make new friends, and importantly, discover yourself, then Youth Time's summer schools are your best bet. Not only did I make friends from countries like Serbia, Qatar, Russia etc. the various workshops forced us to step out of our comfort zones and question our inherent beliefs and prejudices. What struck me was also the OC's friendly and approachable demeanour. You could discuss, debate and still laugh together. And the memories of the laughter during the Hamburg Summer School still linger fresh in my mind.

The summer school I attended in China with Youth Time was absolutely amazing - I loved meeting different people, seeing new places and learn new things. Everything was very well organised!

My experience in China last year was unforgettable! Call it an immersion program to the Chinese culture and universal youth engagement for positive societal impact..I'd do it all over again!

I still remember the time when I met the participants from all over the world and the smiles on everyone face. My journey with the Youth-time Summar School in Hamburg was not only charming with full of fun and excitement but every event was also full of knowledge. Meeting intellectuals of different countries having diverse backgrounds and knowing about their culture, thoughts and reasonings during seminars and workshops of the event is an unforgettable moment of my life. For all these good memories, I highly appreciate the team of Youth-time and strongly recommend everyone to get to know Youth-time.

Not long ago I took part in the international youth summer school which took place in Beijing. Before that I had not even known about the real taste of international social interaction. Summer school gave me not only the opportunity of such interaction but the awareness of youth cohesion isolated from political infightings, artificial conflicts and other misunderstandings. It was the first time in my life when I felt being not just a citizen of my country but a citizen of the World. I found lots of friends from all over the world and now I am maintaining cordial relations with them. YT Summer School is the unique experience to become one step closer to the whole world.

Beijing summer school prides itself on the international diversity of its participants. The best thing about the summer school was not tutorials activities – although they were all amazing and fun – actually the people I met. It was a blast! The social and cultural aspect enabled me to interact with lots of international participants, and I did make some good friends. Beijing summer school was a great program overall. Youth time teammates are amazing and always willing to help. Finally, it is very multicultural and is an inspiring place to learn.
