Experiences

Doing a European Volunteering Service means to open a window to a new experience: read now Judit evs experience with Able Like You III.

“CESIE just seemed like one big family”. Allira’s intership experience.

In life, when you start to face difficult moments, and you can't find any more solutions, the only thing left to do, is to leave.  To make it clearer, I was looking for a way to escape the reality in which I lived, and I thought that this opportunity may work to...

” I was really useful and I gave a smile to those who really needed it through one of my most primordial passions: the BICYCLE”. Antonio’s EVS experience.

Birth, beautiful childhood, war, school, first love, education, diploma, first jobs ... in a time,  that seems to me really fast. After only a few snows and hot summers in front of me is the opportunity to get out of the frame is the classic standard of education and...

I’m Dima Wehbe, 23, from Lebanon. I was totally ignorant about the migration crisis in Europe until I became part of it through my 9-months EVS project in Palermo, Italy. My project revolved around  supporting migrants through non-formal education. I constantly strive...

Before coming to Palermo, I was studying and working in Paris in the field of cultural and social projects. A friend of mine, who had done an EVS in Albania told me his experience and I found it as an excellent opportunity to change my life abroad and grow in the...

I completely changed my daily life six months ago. I remember how scared I was when I put my feet on the ground of Sicily. People are scared of unknown and unpredictable. I was one of them, but fears wasn't only feeling what I experienced. High level of excitement and...

I knew about EVS opportunity since age 26 when I started working in an association of Madrid that send and receive European volunteers. I started as a mentor, then I was responsible and EVS coordinator. So I met CESIE, exchanging volunteers and millions of emails for...

Few months ago, I took the last chance to do an EVS experience seen I was 30 years. And the first thing that came to my mind is that there is no age to learn, and there are many different ways to learn. I see how efficient can be to learn by doing. In this EVS, I’m...

I´m writing this report  after 13 days from the end of my fantastic experience as a Volunteer with the feeling of melancholy, because now all the memories are scrolling down in my brain and I miss that time. In this six month I had what I expected when I decided to...

Per me l’esperienza SVE è stata fantastica. È stata molto costruttiva e direi anche illuminante. Prima di tutto perché ogni singolo giorno sembrava essere circondato da una sorta di magia, in un modo o nell’altro; ma anche perché alla fine ho apprezzato pure i piccoli disagi, quelli che succedono solo in alcuni momenti che sono inevitabili in un’esperienza che dura cinque mesi.

I was born in Europe, but I am feeling daughter of this earth. When I was a child I dreamed about countries around the world several times and I imagined to move from my home with an essential backpack, to board a ship and to land somewhere. Probably, too much...

I arrived in Bhubaneswar (India) full of fears, uncertainties, everything around me was unknown but with the curiosity of a little girl on her first day of school.
