Europe Day







Another beautiful day, another beautiful festival – the Day of Europe. The festival was held in a nice park, so we could enjoy it during the day, as well-organized event and meet a lot of little – young smiling people.

Another exciting moment for our guys to socialize, watch, participate, understand, enjoy.
It is so important for the EU to treat disabled people equally, but what is more important is to teach others to have lots of respect and responsibility for these people.  And this is what everyone could notice: children of different ages showed lots of respect  and friendliness to our guys. It was so nice to watch it.

People need to see other people. People need to know there are different people, some have problems, some don't,  some are happy and smiling, others prefer to hide their feelings. Meeting new people is as important as sharing experiences. 

That's why I am glad we had the opportunity to  leave the office and  participate in the festival with lots of other people. Everyone enjoyed.

Art of inclusion

Art…Who doesn’t love art? Nowadays it’s everywhere, and it is impossible to imagine our lives without it. Everything is art and art is for everyone. But have you ever thought what is actually art and how powerful it can be? It’s well-known that art connects people, countries, cultures. Have you ever thought that art can heal people, and helps those in need, those with difficulties, those who actually can learn this world only through arts? That was what our last project about. 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...
