Obscurity, numbness, tremors, fear, cold, pain, distress, support, fall, power, strength, senses ... emotions, emotions that kept coming back - this would be a short summary of what was in my heart when I placed myself at the starting line and I became aware that I represented YouthBank Sibiu’s team. The team relied on me!” Raluca Rotariu, Member of the Youth- Bank Sibiu Team 2012-2013, and runner at the 2013 Sibiu HalfMarathon for the YouthBank Program in Sibiu “This project was an unique experience for all the team members, because none of us has been the main organizer of an event before. The most important thing we've learned is that even the greatest idea can become reality if there is desire for involvement, passion, labor and support. Furthermore, this project has taught us to work together, to use our time in an effective way, to discover our strengths and to use them for a good collabora- tion. Even the difficult moments actually had a positive impact on us. They put our skills to the test and strengthened the bonds between us.” Corina Doican, Leader of 5 for the Film Team, YouthBank Sibiu 2013 grantee For more information please visit: http://www.sibiu.youthbankromania.ro/ https://www.facebook.com/YouthBank.Sibiu Financed by: An initiative of: Supported by: Sponsored by:
