Everyone is a teacher for everyone else at Green Connect.

I learn from each one.

We came on different tracks, we’re all from different countries, but we all share our experiences here, we share our culture.

We need connection. Connections are more important than money.

People are friendly where I live. My neighbours and I share taking in the bins for each other.

We share lifts.

My kids play with their Macedonian neighbours.
