Bol'shoe spasibo!

The last full working day of our conference here in Yaroslavl, which included lots of formal business of the association of countries.

It was all very positive, with lots of discussions around how we can all work together to improve the lives of young people across Europe. The key focus is on how we can support more young people to travel, study and work in other countries, expanding their horizons, and it was so inspiring to hear so many great ideas and enthusiasm.

Then onto the final formal dinner, which included more cultural highlights - this time featuring folk dancing, singing, gymnastics and a young Russia rapper - brilliant stuff!

Many speeches were given, and toasts made, and it was our chance to once again thank our hosts - the Russian Union of Youth - and all their volunteers for making it such a memorable experience. It genuinely was a privilege to be part of.

Bol'shoe spasibo! (Thank you very much!)
