Recently Georgian youngster Mariam
Nairashvili doing her EVS in Romania. She would like to share her Life changing
experience with you.
“Firstly, Erasmus + volunteering service is
the opportunity of development and self-enhancement. The reason, why I decided
to enroll in EVS and start volunteering journey three months ago, is that I
knew something different and original was expecting. Expectations were high and
all of them came true. Craiova, Romania, my current “EVS home” became the place
of diversity and brand new challenges. My SO (Sending Organization) is Georgian
Youths for Europe and I’m doing my EVS in Anter. My volunteering contains being
a friendly teacher of healthy lifestyle. Thus, it’s a healthy lifestyle
promotion at high school from 9th to 11th grade students.
The project’s name is “Be fit” and we are doing encouragements of being healthy and benefits by conducting vast kind
of events, conferences and competitions through Odobleja High school students
in Craiova, Dolj, Romania. Duties and responsibilities are simple- you have to
do your best, at least try to make something valuable for community.
Additionally, we have a Romanian classes provided that helped me for an adaptation
in society, even more. We are stimulating our project by online E-magazine and
promotion videos that make project popular, also write articles about urgent
topics that are nowadays problems.
Secondly, the point of being volunteer is
precious. People are getting involved for better future. I start learning how
to express myself with other nationalities and represent my cultural background
at the same time. It’s also very important to mention that I’m living with
other nine people in the same house and we are all gathered like a family. EVS
is a family. It gives you an opportunity to get to know other people’s
cultures, explore old or new traditions, plus tricks. People care about each
other here and we all know our personal values and respect them. It is one big
tolerant and diverse environment which is open for every motivated individual.
You can learn individualism here. Although, during the free time, I had an
excellent opportunity of traveling around. Romania has a pretty much convenient
location in Europe so that’s why I visited Hungary and Italy. Consequently, you
can also travel around and use free time for chasing random places.
Overall, EVS was incredibly amazing and
priceless opportunity that should be tried by each of us. Unfortunately, I’m
already at the end of the project and it’s so painful to leave the place that
gave me a lot of friends, memories and wonderful experience.
