Rural Paparazzi?Paparazzi rural?

Rural Paparazzi is a Youth Initiative created by 4 countries: Spain, Portugal, Poland and Latvia.
Everything began when:Barbara (from Poland), Edgars (from Latvia), Helena (from Portugal) and Susana (from Spain) met in a Trainning Course in Turkey. Here is where the story starts...
Since then we kept in contact to develop and organise the project. After sometime we applyed for "Youth Initiative" in Youth in Action Program.

This is what we do to get to know each other, to show our beautiful countries and our way of living!!
