My first own project and much more


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.
