My EVS Experience – Week V

The time before leaving Timișoara again was very brief. During these days I worked on a project I’m writing as part of my EVS.

This is a new experience for me, since I’ve never wrote or been in contact with the writing process of a project. Besides that, I chose the topic of gender equality, which I’m very passionate about but still it’s not so easy to approach. It’s a ‘huge’ topic and as I’m writing, I keep having the feeling that something is missing.

Nevertheless, I consider this topic as being of extreme importance and, therefore, is a challenge I want to embrace in order to have a positive impact in the local community when it comes to education and sensibilization.

These days were also filled with a lot of nostalgia. Being the only volunteer in the association tends to get, sometimes, not hard but challenging. Being with other volunteers was good because I got to meet people with the same “role” as mine which was nice and, coming back to Timisoara, I started to miss them. But don’t get me wrong, even though it gets a little challenging from time to time, other times I appreciate the fact of being alone, as it contributes a lot for my development, especially on a personal level – never before I got used to being on my own, which is really important.

Besides all of this, these days were very much about taking advantage of the amazing space we just got in the youth house, with which I’m in love with! 🙂
