</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">NORA (Germany)- </span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Why did you decide to be a volunteer?</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I decided to be a volunteer because I wanted to get to know another country, culture and language.</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Furthermore I really wanted to help people and to get some work experience in the social field to become clear about what I want to study.</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I wanted to broaden my horizon and to get into an intercultural exchange with people from different countries. Also the aspect to become more independent while living alone convinced me to become a volunteer.</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">How has your experience as volunteer effected your character, your life style, your behavior?</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Through my experience as a volunteer I became more independent, ready to compromise and more open in general. The contact with other volunteers from different cultural backgrounds taught me other ways of coping with problems and to be more relaxed in certain situations.</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Moreover I learned a lot about mental health in my project and found out that I also want to study in this field.</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Altogether I think that I grew personally and that I strengthened my character and personality.</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">
<br><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;">
</span><span style="font-size:85%;">
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">GEA (Estonia)- </span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><b style="font-style: italic;">Why did you choose EDRA?</b><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I was searching for a suitable EVS project for me for quite a long time, because I had a clear idea in my mind that I want to combine this experience very practically with my studies in Estonia, with psychology.</span>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">So after a thurrough search process, I found the project of EDRA and this presented me with opportunities I was looking for. Here I have the chance to work in the field of mental health, implementing the theoretical knowledge into everyday work and learning about the Greek mental health system in different levels.</span><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><b style="font-style: italic;">Which are the qualities of a good volunteer?</b><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Qualities that for certain should appear on the profile of a volunteer are openmindedness, readiness to face and deal with all possible kinds of challenges and, moreover, to learn from them, tolerance and flexibility.</span><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><b style="font-style: italic;">My best experience so far as a volunteer.</b>...<br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">My best experiences as a volunteer here in Greece are been realted to people I have met and the individual and of course cultural differences that I have faced. It amazes me constantly how unique we are and then again how similar in some ways. Living in a foreign country, and of course especially being an EVS volunteer here and therefore being in even more multicultural companies, has tought me a lot about people and about the different ways ofo communication between people.</span><br><br>
</span><span style="font-size:85%;">
</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">SABRINA(Austria) - </span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br>
</span></div><div face="trebuchet ms" style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><i><span style="font-weight: bold;">In general, do you think that young people in Greece take part in voluntary actions?</span></i><br>
</span></p><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">On the one side, as I have been volunteering abroad for a longer time, I gained the impression, that there are not many young people that take interest in participating in a voluntary program that includes living abroad for a certain time. On the other side, it seems that some of the Greek citizens really would like to take part in a voluntary project that they can join in their country.</span></p><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Some of the Greek citizens I met so far are very interested in what exactly I am doing here, what my project is about and why I am taking part in EVS.</span></p><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br>
<span style="font-size:85%;">Do young people in your country work as volunteers in general?
</span></p><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br>
<span style="font-size:85%;">In Austria there are a lot of programs including the help of volunteers. As a young person you have always the possibility to make new experiences by joining those programs and to broaden your mind more and more. There is a big amount of portals where you can find some information about Voluntary Centres and organisations that search for volunteers. Mostly these programs are concerned in the field of Migration, Ecology, Support for people that live in Poverty and Mental Health.
</span></p><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br>
<span style="font-size:85%;">Are you or will you be, or, continue to be a volunteer in your country?</span></p><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br>
<span style="font-size:85%;">As I enjoy my Volunteer – Experience a lot and as there are a lot of possibilities to join such programs in my country I am definitely thinking of doing something similar again. It would be great as well to do so in a foreign country.</span></p><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">

There where people from France, Letvia, Croatia, Czec Republic, Eslovania, Bulgaria, Ukrania, Italy, Ukrania, Hungaria, Greece, Serbia. For me it was good to meet people from East Europe and to get to know them. Usely I don’t meet people from these country’s so it was intresting to see how the live and behaive.
</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>What:</strong> We got a training to learn more about computers. We learn how to make a database, webblog, webpage, work with open office.
</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Where:</strong> the training was in Elche near Alicante in Spain.
</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>When:</strong> the training was 11-18-May 2008 Elche.
</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>What did I learn:</strong> I learn more about computers in de training, and how to work with them. For me it was interesting because I didn’t now how to make a webpage, database or a Webb log. We also learn how to make a presentation with open office. We had lessons in an internet café. Sometimes it was a bit hard. Because the lesson was going a bit fast and the teacher spoke in English. In your own launge things are easier to understand. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">Carolien</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694265300716589261.post-38196357075287717082008-05-22T02:34:00.003+03:002008-12-10T04:46:30.905+02:00EVS PARTY!!!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcvhY0tuuNiydzojaferN1EM1UHfjJUKEyVSrP8Mbem1RbfTl6I7xUWWos_dddqWeCWo-LNs3yUcttHXju1f6T2WBtOMwlT-9z4lCtBxBELPzNDCMc5PEcG6DE_jqWfUaRs2kXeGaQpA/s1600-h/EVS+PARTY.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcvhY0tuuNiydzojaferN1EM1UHfjJUKEyVSrP8Mbem1RbfTl6I7xUWWos_dddqWeCWo-LNs3yUcttHXju1f6T2WBtOMwlT-9z4lCtBxBELPzNDCMc5PEcG6DE_jqWfUaRs2kXeGaQpA/s400/EVS+PARTY.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202978876786730594" border="0" /></a>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:85%;">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 <a href="http://www.hodinah.cz/">Hodina H</a> 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.</span>
<span style="font-size:85%;">Three days, full of working activities, talking, exchanging, sharing and resulting in some amazing results.</span>
<span style="font-size:85%;">
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.</span>
<span style="font-size:85%;">
The most important thing...This seminar was developed totally by an ex-evs volnuteer in Hodina H..Jesus!!! So.......THANK YOU JESUS!</span>
<span style="font-size:85%;">
So come back!</span>
<span style="font-size:85%;">...and regards once more to all!</span>

Being on EVS in a different country can be very stressful as it is the first time away from home for many people, I think I have adapted to it quite well but everyone has their up days and their down ones.

I'm here in athens since the 15th of January for doing an evs Program at EDRA for 6 months.
The motivations that lead me to enter this adventure were basicaly to participate in a project that i could be useful and give/receive experience. it didn't have nothing to do with my work area (environmental engineering). And what else do i have to say in this short period of time that i'm here? OK, the people of EDRA are fantastic, they support-me in everything, i live in the center of Athens with other volunters from diferent nationalities, and thats all folks!

This was the first word that I hear and learn when I arrived in Athens… my EVS, my world… Till now I am 6 months here doing my EVS in EDRA and I really enjoy the time here. The beginning was hard and difficult for me, everything new and without my friends and colleges from work. New work and without any Greek knowledge about the language and lost in the space… <strong>Τι κανείς</strong> … was adapting my self and I was meeting people from everywhere I start to open my self and research what Athens and EDRA can do for us. Step by step I found my EVS as a right choice that I made because I change my self completely... and I realize that we are all different but in the same time all equal... <strong>Πολύ καλά... </strong>These are the words that can explain how I am feeling now when I am doing my extension because I love my work here and enjoy the time with my friends here...

We had the chance to see three videos of different themes made by Hristo Neko . The first one was a presentation video of the future capital (</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.art4more.blogspot.com/">www.art4more.blogspot.com</a>) of our two ex-evs volunteers Miranda and Isabel. The second one was a video prepared for a youth exchange in Latvia (Art in the Cement Forest) where five different young people living in Greece (Maria, Fotini, Panos, Isabel and Hristo) presented the way they see Athens. The third one was a short movie prepared by Hristo for his course of filming.
Although we experienced some technical difficulties it was a great first attempt that motivated us to do it again and again and again...each time better. Come back to us, as we will publish our video forums and everyone can come!
Regards!!</span>
