This morning, a dear friend of mine sent me a picture taken exactly one year ago. On June 16th 2021, I graduated from high school, and it blows my mind when I realise how many things have happened since then. The past few months brought some changes in my life as a volunteer that helped […]

I am Elisabet and I am 23 years old. I arrived in Bremen in October. I have the feeling that it happened yesterday but at the same time I have the feeling that it was years ago. I don’t feel that I am the same person than when I arrived in October. This experience pushed

After nine months here in Germany, spring is finally here! And as the weather, my perception of my volunteering changed a lot. The arrival of fine weather allows me to enjoy it spending a lot of time outside, using my bike or by foot. I travelled more (and it’s not over), and I discovered that

Hello again! Right now I’m a few months away from finishing my project. And in these months too many things have happened in the project and on a personal level. The months after writing the 1st report were a bit more complicated, I felt a bit lost, I still didn’t improve my German because we

This past year I have worked in what I love by nature: Looking at the world through the lens glass of a camera and editing my way into a final video that shows the world what my mind sees through the glass. This past year I have also discovered an infinite number of new things

Who would have thought that the pictures, which I was fantasizing in my mind about my life in Europe, would become so real. The vision, which I had in my past, came true. So, Mom, I am finally in Europe! My first two months in Bremen were not perfect, I could even say that they

Step by step the end is coming. I am not jinxing it but it’s a fact. In exactly one month I will be sitting in an airplane back to Germany. Uff. A lot of emotions are there right now which are quite hard to categorize. Not now! I will work through them step by step.

The youth exchange “What’s up, World?” aimed to give the opportunity to the participants to put themselves into others and take over another perspective through the power of storytelling, simulations, role playing games and direct contact with the local community. Our motivation to participate in the youth exchange was very different. On the one hand,
