In 1975, a group of young people decided to get organised around nature-friendly values. Thus International Young Naturefriends was born. Probably, they didn’t imagine that almost forty years later they would have changed so many lives.

All around Europe, young naturefriends share experiences in IYNF activities throughout the year. Apart from that, great work takes place everyday in the central office in Prague. Three employees and two volunteers take care of the activities and the organisation itself at all levels. This team is often completed with an intern. I had the opportunity to be the person to fill that position and I grabbed it without hesitation.

Although it’s hard to quantify how much I have learned from this international experience, the essential thing is that I learnt things that I haven’t expected to and I lived in Prague for three great months. I have to remark the warm welcome that I received from my colleagues. We shared a lot of good moments. We developped projects with many other people: members and partners, the presidium and all the people who collaborate with us. Together, we made things that will remain in many peoples’ minds. We can be proud of that and I can be proud of having been a part of this great organisation which is IYNF.
