My name is Cerys, I am a 19-year-old student.
I went on a project in Kuterevo bear refuge in Croatia. During my project, I built bins, chairs and benches from recycled wood and created a fire pit area with seating. For the first two days, I fed bears hourly and also aided the other volunteers in releasing a new bear to the refuge.
In my free time, a professor that works with lynx life came to teach us how to track in the Kuterevo mountains. We also visited the Krka National Park.
Thanks to this project, professionally I learned how to live and work with different nationalities. I also learnt that other people’s opinions matter and that respecting that helps when working with other people.
Personally, I think this project has helped me to boost my confidence when out of my comfort zone.

As part of our Vocational Educational Training (VET) project Moving Feet Opening Minds, young trainees produced a presentation about their animal care project in Croatia. Back in the UK, they created the following presentation for their class mates and future participants.

They all seemed to have a great experience out there, developing skills in animal care at  Velebitsko Kuterevo.
