Its first part started with a training camp in July, in the Romanian city of Timisoara, were 24 juniors and 6 coaches from the above mentioned countries worked together under the critical eye of head coach Debbie Lynch (Scotland/Denmark).

  The second part started on 22nd and ended on 28th of October in Hajduszoboszlo and was a week of sharing badminton knowledge, experiences and ideas between coaches as well as opportunities for players to learn from each other.   At the end of each training session the players had the occasion to show their improvements since the last time they met by playing interesting matches together.   A nice surprise for the Serbian and Romanian players was their participation at a 2 day Open tournament in the city of Debrecen, in Hungary, where they could compete and show their on court-strength against the best Hungarian players.
