In the last month of June it was the turn of doing the Midterm training of the European Volunteer Service, nothing more and nothing less than in the city of Split. A ten hour bus ride from Opatija but well worth it. A meeting with ten other volunteers from several countries who are doing their service in Croatia. Some of them already we met us on arrival training in the first month of February and the rest we made great friends after this meeting.
Compartimos toda la semana aprendiendo unos de los otros de nuestra experiencia durante los primeros seis meses de nuestro servicio y los problemas que nos han salido por el camino.
We shared all the week learning from each other of our experience during the first six months of our service and the problems that have come in our way.
Los compañeros de otras organizaciones nos contaron su experiencia, motivantes para continuar el resto de nuestro voluntariado con las baterías llenas de energía, con energías frescas y con aún más ganas y apoyo de mis amigos. Con ganas de hacer cosas nuevas en el ámbito local de nuestra localidad y ¡también global!
The mates from other organizations told us about their experience, motivating us to continue the rest of our volunteer work with full energy batteries, with fresh energy and with even more desire and support from my friends. Wanting to do new things in the local area of our locality and also global!
Las dinámicas de grupo y otras muchas actividades que improvisamos todos juntos los voluntarios en la ciudad hicieron de este meeting una enorme experiencia para recordar para siempre. Un gran feeling durante todo el evento y ya durante el mismo evento estábamos planeando otro encuentro para volver a vernos pronto en Agosto. (Así es que el fin de semana tras el evento ya estábamos de nuevo juntos y visitando Trogir). ;)
The group dynamics and many other activities that we all improvised together the volunteers in the city made of this meeting an enormous experience to remember forever.
