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!

It 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 first experience in this sphere, so I was observing a lot, trying to be caring and take it professionally. I am sure I gained some valuable skills.



10months is a long period. I got used to the city, people around, relaxing life on the island. And I have many good memories. But I am also looking for my next life adventures.

People..live, love, care and enjoy!

Un’Europa senza barriere

Sono una volontaria nel Sud Italia, a Palermo e l'esperienza che sto facendo è davvero di speciale. Essere parte di una grande squadra che sta lavorando per i bisogni e i diritti per la gente con disabilità che sono svantaggiati in qualche modo e l'idea di fare la differenza nella vita di qualcuno è una grande sensazione. Penso che SVE dovrebbe essere più diffuso. SVE è un programma ERASMUS +, organizzato e finanziato dall'Unione Europea. Ieri si è tenuta il 22 maggio a Palermo la Festa dell’Europa 2019. Questa festa non è una sola festa ma anche la festa per tutti cittadini europei…senza barriere, senza pregiudizi! L’Unione europea non è ancora perfetta. C’è ancora tanto da fare, tanti problemi. Ma anche L'Unione europea ci sono tanti cose   impagabili come: il rispetto della dignità umana, la libertà, l’uguaglianza, la solidarietà e è il diritto per tutti di essere felici. L'UE promuove l'inclusione e la partecipazione delle persone con di...

Painting lessons are over :(

The nine-month course of painting in the organization has ended. We tried a lot of techniques during this period - various painting techniques, various textures, drawing, mosaic, wax painting, graphics. The themes were very different - traditional Ukrainian technique Petrikovka, landscapes, portraits, logos, etc. The guys showed themselves on the best side and each of them is special in the creative way. Someone has shown himself in helping others with drawing, someone has a very specific style, someone has the ability to draw portraits, someone abstraction, someone very painstaking in work but someone is very temperamental. But certainly everyone is talented and everyone deserves praise.

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), ...
