My EVS on
arrival training experience…
On arrival training - something what every volunteer
has to go through. After one month in Greece our turn came and we were at our
road to Athens. There were some things which really made me happy about that
trip – the perspective of seeing Athens, meeting new people and one whole week
without cooking. With enormous enthusiasm I packed my bag pack and got into the
bus. I was so excited!
Did I like the training? Sure. I didn’t expect
something special, to be honest I was sure it would be boring. Fortunatelly, I
was wrong. I spend very intensive week, I had no time to be bored. Days were
full of activities, everything was balanced in perfect way and I really admire
trainers for ability of trainers to managing so big group of volunteers.
Despite my previous fears I learnt new things -
from methods that educators used and from experiences of other
volunteers.
However the
most important part of the training were people. I met many interesting and
crazy persons and I spent amazing time with them in Athens. One of the most unexpected
meeting was with Gvido – Latvian guy who spent 2 weeks during the summer in
Poland precisely in my little hometown. It’’s a small world after all.
Very nice part of seminar was also…. food. Was just
amazing! And I am sure that cheesecake from Titania hotel became one of EVS
legend.
