EVS in Slovenia!

Η Ανθή βρίσκεται στη Σλοβενία και μιλάει για το εθελοντικό πρόγραμμα στο οποίο συμμετέχει από το Νοέμβρη 2012


Φιλοξενούμαι από τον οργανισμό «Scientific and Research Association for Art, Cultural-Educational Programmes and Technology - EPEKA» στο πλαίσιο του Προγράμματος "Ευρωπαϊκή Εθελοντική Υπηρεσία".

Είμαι πολύ ευχαριστημένη από τη διαμονή στη φοιτητική εστία. Το διαμέρισμά μου ανακαινίστηκε λίγες μέρες πριν την άφιξή μου στη Σλοβενία, είναι μεγάλο και έχει κήπο. Μοιράζομαι το διαμέρισμα με άλλους 2 εθελοντές. Ο καθένας έχει το δικό του δωμάτιο και οι υπόλοιποι χώροι είναι κοινόχρηστοι. Αισθάνομαι τυχερή που έχω συγκατοίκους, παρά τις διαφορές που καμιά φορά προκύπτουν μεταξύ μας. Νιώθω πλέον πως οι συγκάτοικοι μου είναι η οικογένεια μου εδώ στη Σλοβενία.

Τα χρήματα που λαμβάνω είναι αρκετά για να καλύπτουν τα έξοδά μου, δεδομένου ότι δεν τρώω σε εστιατόρια, αλλά μαγειρεύω καθημερινά.  Είμαι ολιγαρκής και καταφέρνω να αποταμιεύω κάποια από τα χρήματα που λαμβάνω κάθε μήνα και να τα χρησιμοποιώ σε ταξίδια.

Οι περισσότεροι κάτοικοι της πόλης μιλούν Αγγλικά, οπότε η επικοινωνία είναι εύκολη. Έχω μάθει τις βασικές εκφράσεις στα σλοβένικα, που είναι χρήσιμες για την καθημερινότητα, και θεωρώ πως καταφέρνω να επικοινωνώ επαρκώς με του ντόπιους. 

Συμμετέχω στο project με τίτλο «Together in MariborEuropean Capital of Youth 2013». Μέχρι πρότινος οι δραστηριότητες μου περιελάμβαναν κυρίως γραμματειακές ασχολίες και δευτερευόντως συμμετοχή σε events, παρουσιάσεις και workshops που διοργανώνονταν από τον οργανισμό μου και την European Youth Capital.  Eχω ελευθερία να ασχοληθώ με τις δραστηριότητες που με ενδιαφέρουν, συμπεριλαμβανομένων της οργάνωσης workshops και των προσωπικών μου projects και της οργάνωσης και συμμετοχής στα events της European Youth Capital. Τα καθήκοντά μου ανταποκρίνονται σε μεγάλο βαθμό στα ενδιαφέροντα μου, τα βρίσκω εποικοδομητικά και συμμετέχω με ενθουσιασμό.

Συμμετέχω σε όλα σχεδόν τα events που διοργανώνονται από τον οργανισμό μου και από τη European Youth Capital. Με τον τρόπο αυτό έχω γνωρίσει πολλά άτομα και έχω κάνει αρκετούς φίλους. Θεωρώ πώς οι σχέσεις που έχω αναπτύξει στο Μάριμπορ είναι το πιο πολύτιμο κομμάτι του Evs μου. Οι περισσότεροι στενοί μου φίλοι, εκτός από τους συγκατοίκους μου που είναι επίσης εθελοντές και τους θεωρώ πλέον οικογένεια μου, είναι Σλοβένοι και με έχουν κάνει να αισθανθώ πως έχουμε ουσιαστικούς δεσμούς μεταξύ μας.

Η επαφή μου με τόσο διαφορετικούς ανθρώπους και οι σχέσεις που έχω αναπτύξει με αυτούς, η γνωριμία και η σταδιακή υιοθέτηση της σλοβένικης κουλτούρας και του τρόπου ζωής, και οι ευκαιρίες που έχω για ταξίδια είναι τα στοιχεία που εκτιμώ περισσότερο στο EVS μου.
