At the end
of my third week I got my first own project I have to manage. From now on I
will represent ARS BALTICA in the Baltic Sea NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation)
Network which supports and strengthens civil society in the Baltic Sea Region
by sharing experiences, exchange information, improving knowledge, creating
partnerships, supporting the development of international understanding and
intercultural activities and raising public awareness.
In November
I will visit a conference in Berlin where the upcoming forum will be discussed.
I am proud about representing us there but, at the same time, I get a bit
nervous because I do not really know what is awaiting me. But, of course, I
will do my really best.
The rest of
my work is still the same and still nice; last week I published my first newsletter
on our website and visited the opening event of the “LKJ” (that is the umbrella
association organizing and managing this “voluntary social year”) where I, for
the very first time, met all my gap year colleagues who also will be to the
introduction seminar on “Scheersberg” which will take place from 22 to 26 October. We were welcomed in a very friendly
manner and got to know what would happen in this year as a volunteer (that rhymes
:-P).
Inbetween
my “hard” work times I created a little “private” project: making
chestnut-puppets. That may sound confusing so here you can see some results:
All in all
I still love working here. Randy (the volunteer the next door) and I are
already having some ideas for our project next summer but this is another
story.
