Launching „GROW LOUD: Youth Summer Fest 5” magazine

Almost a whole month of summer, volunteers from 14 countries, two cities, and countless experiences worth keeping somewhere beyond a phone gallery.

That’s how GROW LOUD came to life: the magazine of the 5th edition of Youth Summer Fest, created by the project’s Media & Marketing volunteer team.

2 cultural events

Over 300 participants

38 activities in Timișoara and Lugoj

35 international volunteers

These are just a few of the things you can read about right now in the 2026 magazine, written by the people who actually lived the experience. Through photos, illustrations, testimonials, and moments that captured the project from the inside, you’ll get a better understanding of the perspectives of both volunteers and participants.

Of course, you’ll also discover more about the project’s key moments — from the opening Intercultural Picnic and Jam Session to the artistic and educational modules, Timișoara City Day, the experience in Lugoj, and the event dedicated to International Youth Day.

And... as a little bonus, we’ve also added a few games to this edition for you to enjoy once you finish reading.

For us, GROW LOUD is a time capsule of this summer, filled with the people, ideas, moments, and enthusiasm that made this edition shine.
