45 - Youth Exchange at ZEGG - with Blanca and Peter (in ENGLISH)

Young people from different countries of Europe met again for 10
days at ZEGG. „Youth in change“ is an exchange for young people
who want to become agents for a positive change in the world.
They meet at ZEGG to get to know a wide range of powerful tools
that support them finding their way through life. They are guided
by an international team und build a small community during their
time at ZEGG.


Ina Froitzheim talked to Blanca from Spain and Peter from the
Netherlands about their journey. They share how they navigated
their own personal growth, working through boundaries,
challenges, and a deepening sense of connection with others. They
talk about vulnerability, transparency, love and answered the
following questions:


Why did you come to ZEGG?

What did you find out during the Forum?

What do you think about living in communities? 

How does a day at the Youth Exchange looks like?

What are you taking home?



What stood out to us:



Vulnerability & Transparency: Both Blanca and Peter
mention the challenge of being vulnerable and open, but also
the rewarding aspect of being able to share things they might
have otherwise kept to themselves.


Love & E*ros: The conversation about love,
especially the distinction between romantic love and a more
expansive, universal love, is fascinating. The combination of
Eros and creativity seems to be a recurring theme as
both try to integrate these ideas into their daily lives.


Living in Community: There’s an underlying tension of
seeking autonomy while also desiring connection. Blanca’s
experience of romanticizing communities and Peter’s reflections
on balancing social connection and personal space felt like a
relatable tension many people feel when navigating communal
living.



The next Youth Exchange will
be 17. - 30.08.2026 at ZEGG,
registration will open soon.
