GIVE AND TAKE

For a long time, I have been interested in becoming involved in the European Voluntary Service
programme, and when I saw project "Give and Take", I knew this was the perfect opportunity. The activities of
Associazione Uniamoci Onlus are an ideal match for my experience, skills, and interests.

In 2016 I participated in the Erasmus+ project “Be Active, Be Europe” (a bilateral exchange between Italy and Ukraine in Polizza Generosa, Sicily, Italy) where we helped to create a new
community for children without parents.

It was at this time that I firmly decided that I wanted to spend my EVS on this beautiful island.

Art of inclusion. The project gathered partner-organizations from Portugal, Germany, Romania, and Italy. The week was full of cultural events and activities. The program consisted of: painting sessions, visits to the museums, creating photo exhibition, handcraft activities etc. It was unbelievably enjoyable to watch how everyone was deeply involved in the process. One more time I was convinced that art is full of love,  feelings, when people create (literally anyone), ...

the end?

My 10 months project is about to end. I am happy and sad at the same time. But what can I do..time is flying, life is moving on! I t was an interesting experience. Of course there were things I didn't like and couldn't get used to, but definitely, there were a lot of positive moments.  I had time to travel and see the island, which was nice. I met many international people. I was forced to learn Italian, because very few people speak English fluently, and learned a lot about Sicilian culture.  I met many challenges, but this is actually what life in another country is about. Finally, I started loving olive oil, which I never used in cooking before. For the first time in my life, I participated in the Gay Pride and local carnival.  Speaking about volunteering in the organization (working with disabled people), it was unexpectedly easy.  I think that's because everyone was really friendly and open to communication.  It was my firs...
