EVS
program:
Since October and November, Educational center had strengthened
with two EVS volunteers - Daniel from Kratovo (Macedonia),
and Catherine from Rene (France). They will be with us in
fallowing six and eight months. This is the first time that
Educational center is a hosting organization. We hope that
their's presence will bring a new dimension in Educational
center activities.
EVS volunteers' impressions:
DANIEL
I'm really glad that I'm here, and that I've met new and
interesting people. These six months, that I'll be in Educational
center I wish to use for gaining new experiences, making
contacts and off course lot of friends. I'm looking forward
to new EC activities, their realization, to give my contribution,
especially in the field of art. I want to call all young
people to participate in these kind of activities, cause
they open new possibilities and chances to creativly use
their free time, and to experience volunteer's life.
CATHERINE
After I came in Educational center, I learned better Serbian
language and included, step by step, in activities of this
organization. Being a part of EC team in the next eight
months, will contribute to my personal and working experience.
I met a lot of nice people, and every day I discover more
and more of Serbian culture. I think that this kind of exchange
between different cultures is very important because the
western european countries didn't acquaint enough Balkan
countries. I hope that more young people will activate in
this field and get the possibility to meet themselves and
the others.
