Report: "And What Now?" Seminar, Czech Republic

Four members (Kostas Spatiotis: Trainer and Isabel Maldonado, Ana De La Guia and Brice Bodin: Participants) of our organisation took part in a seminar organised by Hodina H in Pelhrimov of Czech Republic. The objective of the seminar was to exchange practices and ideas concerning what after EVS! A question that is very apparent in many volunteers that are about to finish their european voluntary service and not only. Three days, full of working activities, talking, exchanging, sharing and resulting in some amazing results. Needless to say that once more we realised that an EVS experience means a lot. 6-12 months of constant learning that one way or the other can be applicable in our suture lives. We came up at the end with a methodology that soon we will be able to share with you online. The most important thing...This seminar was developed totally by an ex-evs volnuteer in Hodina H..Jesus!!! So.......THANK YOU JESUS! So come back! ...and regards once more to all!
