My EVS Experience – Week XI

During this week, the Youth House hosted an event called “Cafe21”, promoted by Timisoara2021, the year when Timisoara is going to be European Capital of Culture.

This type of event is happening every month, in different places of Timisoara with different topics related to the project. It’s an event for everyone to come and have an open debate about the measures to take until the year when Timisoara has the title.

This week’s topic was related to youth, therefore it was hosted here in the Youth House.

I was really happy with this event when I saw the amount of people that actually came and were contributing to the debate actively, trying to make Timisoara a better place for young people to live in.

 

Besides this, we got a visit from the president of my sending organisation which was great for me because we get along very well and, as I mentioned before, I’m always happy to speak in Portuguese for a while! :))

We visited Timisoara and went to the Revolution Museum, where I’d never been before and that is quite interesting, even though needing some renovation.
