Bodensee Jugendgipfel





Finally last week there was an international event for young people that live around the Bodensee (from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein) It was in Vaduz (the capital of Liechtenstein) and a lot of people assisted.





For this I prepared some games about Europe, general knowledge: flags, national anthems, capitals, famous European people, brands and their origins...


It had a great success, I think it was very funny.

Bludenz Markt der Kultur


We participate as well in this great idea. To have a little bit of the culture of every foreigner group in Vorarlberg. We went there as EVS so we could show an example of our culture but mostly inform the people about what is an European volunteer and what we do there (and also to let them know that we are here!)






So I prepared everything in the stand and Kinga (the volunteer working in Bregenz) helped me to prepare the panel about our countries and also came with me in the aha car (my first time driving in Austria, was cool!!!)












There were a lot of people in the market. There were food and dances from Serbia, Turkey, Chechenia, Camboya,... so it was very interesting, funny, and tasty!!!

MidTerm Meeting





Ok, I know there has been a lot of time without updating but that is because I was doing a lot of things!!! So now I will show some of the pictures I made during the past month and a half.











The first thing I´m talking about is the Mid Term Meeting, that every EVS should do. Our was in Innsbruck, not so far as last time (Vienna is like 7 hours by train!!!)


The weather was perfect, even for the end of September, so we could have a few outdoor activities.






We mostly talked a lot: about our projects, future plans and possible resolutions to conflicts.




It was very instructive and we had a great time. We also went for a walk to the town, that is beautiful (I had already been there before) And it was s shame there were some clouds and we couldn´t see the mountains clearly, they are spectacular!
