As I mentioned before, this week FITT hosted the event to commemorate the International Youth Day. To celebrate this, we sent a special invitation to the EVS volunteers who are doing their projects in Romania, and to everyone else that wanted to join us. Pretty much my entire week was dedicated to the preparation of this event, as we had to take care of logistical aspects, prepare the concert and even making materials like bags and t-shirts.
During one weekend we had the chance to get to know other volunteers, go through Timisoara both during the day and night, as well as having a concert. We also did a workshop where, using stencils with key words related to youth, we made our own t-shirts.
We closed the event with a barbecue made by all of the participants together.
This was a very nice event and, for me, the first time I was in charge of organising something. I won’t lie and say that it was amazing to organise it, but it helped me finding out something that I definitely don’t want to do in my future, which is organising events in general.
For this, it was a good experience and I think that learning about what we don’t like is also part of the EVS. I was happy that the participants told me they had a good time, and of course I had a good time with them also, but I think in the end of the day I’ll pretty much prefer to continue to attend to other people’s events! 🙂
