VOLUNTEERING IN GERMANY

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
