Something is happening in the North... and it's sure to eXceed your wildest eXpectations…!
Have you heard about Project X? No?
Well, before 2012 no one had! The initial idea was conceived during a dark winter night at a Swedish YFU volunteer meet-up in 2012. Little did the brainstorming volunteers know that their unpresuming suggestion would reach a legendary and almost mythical status within YFU across the globe. And it was not just any idea.
If that’s still seems a little too abstract, this is what it’s all about in a nutshell: |
After a decade of epic adventures around the continent, Project X is on August 3rd-6th 2023 going back to its roots in Sweden!
|
- It’s a kind of festival where old and new friends gather at a pre-designated location for four days in the middle of summer to party and hang out together
- We live in tents, prepare our own food with the camping tools at our disposal, and leave the place as if we never were there
- It’s like a private party where all 18+ YFUers (volunteers, returnees, current and former host family members etc.) are invited, but not an official YFU event at all
- Outside of the voluntary donation fee, the only costs are travel, food, and whatever equipment you decide to bring
- We decide ourselves how we spend our time and contribute with the kinds of activities we want to see happen
- Previous years X-ambassadors have among other things: organized a bouncy castle, beach volleyball, beer pong tournaments, sunset skinny dipping, epic dance floors, giant inflatable flamingos, baguette duels, and much, much more!
With Project X marking its 10-year anniversary, we want to see as many new and familiar faces as possible celebrating with us! To ensure that this fantastic event reaches as many amazing as possible YFUers, we need your help to spread the word! So talk to your YFU bestie, DM your YFU crush or, make a shout out in that 5 year old YFU WhatAapp group chat you are a part of – sharing your excitement about this event! All ways to reach a YFUer are good ways!
