1.My expectations from the encounter are to meet nice people in my age from another country, to talk to them and to see the differences or the similarities between us. It seems interesting and fun to meet people from another country and this is also an experience. I think that the Slovene group will be separated from us because they are older than us. I think that this experience will make me learn about my self and about the other participants and I will discover my identity. Personally, I just want the encounter to be fun and learning.

2. I want to learn more about my self, like who am I? Why am I like myself? I want to travel a lot, because Austria is a beautiful place and what I want to achieve there is to have fun and to make good and new friends.

3.I just expect from them to be funny, friendly and to be extremely enjoyable.

4. My contribution will be my sense of humor, that I know how to be fun and serious, that I am from a kibbutz and that I am singing.
