from each other about how to further improve the network
on a country level. This year a Y-PEER delegation from

process during the study tour held from November 7th -

detail through various meetings with key role-players in the
network: PETRI coordinators and fellows, the Bulgaria
Focal Point in Charge, network Focal Points, peer educators,
partner organizations, Y-PEER alumni, and others.

deep insight to the delegates, and a follow-up meeting of the

your life! People should do as much as they can to achieve
greater success all the time, said Aldiyar after his return
from the Summit. As a follow-up to the Summit, Aldiyar has
conducted experience sharing training for Y-PEERs in

own organization. There were several sessions going on at
the same time. I was particularly interested in the new and
innovative projects that young people implemented in
