I'll admit I wasn't sure what "Think Ink" would mean in practice, but it turned out to be one of the most creative weeks I've had in a long time. Olmedo, a quiet historic town near Valladolid, gave us the space to slow down, experiment and share ideas without any pressure. The sessions were so interactive that learning never felt like sitting in a classroom. By the last day my notebook was full, and so was my head – in the best possible way.

For my work with young people, what I valued most was how practical everything was – I could picture using almost every method with our own groups. The digital focus of this edition was spot on, since that's where young people spend so much of their time anyway. Hearing how colleagues from other countries tackle the same challenges gave me plenty of new perspectives. I'm already planning how to bring [a method or tool from the course] into our activities at home.

Three of us travelled from Hungary with Evergreen Association, but it didn't take long to feel part of a much bigger international group. Between workshops, shared meals and long conversations in the Spanish sunshine, we got to know each other's cultures and ways of working. Fundación Splora made us feel welcome from the very first day, and the atmosphere stayed open and inspiring all week. We said goodbye to Olmedo with new friends and a few shared project ideas we'd love to turn into reality.
