De ce voluntar european?

Imagine
Numele meu este Corina aș vrea să îți spun că dacă încă te mai gândești să devii voluntar, ar trebui să îți iei inima în dinți și să mergi acolo unde te gândești că poți fi util. Eu am început experiența mea de voluntar în octombrie, în Salonic, Grecia. De ce? Bună întrebare, asta au întrebat toți cei dragi mie care au aflat că voi face asta. Surpriza lor era mare și le dau dreptate, în iulie 2019 absolvisem o facultate foarte bună, licențiat în studii administrative suna bine, aveam și un loc de muncă care îmi plăcea și unde creșteam alături de o echipă absolut minunată. Atunci de ce? Chiar de ce? Aveam toate aceste lucruri, dar voiam să ajut, să fiu mai utilă societății. Voiam să experimentez lucruri noi și să îmi dau seama dacă există și alte oportunități pentru viitorul meu care m-ar face mai fericită cu ceea ce fac. Din aceste lucruri s-a născut dorința de fi voluntar și am aplicat pentru un proiect în Grecia la un moment dat.   A trecut ceva timp, uitasem de aplicație când am afl

Arts Lab Report: My 5th month in this “Beautiful City”

Imagine
It was the 5th month of stay in this “Beautiful City” and I was feeling belonged more and more, everyday. It was a good coincidence that we started the month, planning the “20 beautiful things” project. It was a project about 20 things we found beautiful in Târgu Frumos. The definition of beauty changes from one person to another, so it was exciting to wait for the results from my colleagues. 20 works of photography, videos, music and ceramics. We started working on it.     Meanwhile, the open call for local volunteers to help us during the project resulted. On the very first week of July, we met those amazing eight girls, coming from Târgu Frumos and other cities. We organized a welcome meeting, with activities and plannings of our workshops. Each international member of Arts Lab made a team and we easily planned out our workshop program. With their help, we started having local kids and teenagers every week.   My workshops started happening in the ceramic studio we recently made. Eve

Arts Lab Report: Improving techniques

Imagine
July brought new meetings and activities, I finally started experimenting the photography workshops with the local volunteers and youngsters, who started to accompany us in our activities.

During the first part of the month I also dedicated to continue the photographic project regarding the search for what most attracts my attention in the city of Târgu Frumos: the markets, the surrounding hills, the streets. For the project I chose to focus on aspects related to daily life, nature and the relationship between the inhabitants and the landscape.

Arts Lab Report: With passion, you can achieve your objective

Imagine
July, I would say that this month was the month where we finally did what we were supposed to do during the project. After the success of the music video about Târgu Frumos, the organization changed their focus on actual events, workshops and conferences where me as an international volunteer got to interact with all kind of new people. During the first week I was adding subtitles to the music video while also preparing workshops and other activities for the local volunteer meetings. It was exciting to see new passionate people participate in the organization who were willing to help us out in many different task but mainly in translating. The meeting with the new volunteers went great: the girls were excited to participate in the organization and it was a great introduction in getting to know each other. Each of us ESC participants were assigned with a specific volunteer and I had Bianca, someone who was enthusiastic about movies, TV shows and acting. It’s always great to have someone

Arts Lab Report: A July full of art

Imagine
In July started working with the new volunteers, doing workshops and getting to know each other better. We welcomed the new volunteers with workshops and lots of fun. It was a month of great progress after the time of the pandemic. I finished recording the first song of the “Resilience” project with the help of the music teacher Gisela. We started the project 20 beautiful things from Târgu Frumos. We went to take photos, we got up at dawn and we stayed up to see the stars so we could take photos and record sounds. Regarding the volunteers, we started the music classes, where I teached them how to compose a song. Now we are composing the anthem for Super Tineri. At the end of the month we made the exhibition of sounds and photos in a small activity with teachers from the area and we also started the long-awaited caravan. Anyway, it was a productive month and I am happy with how little I have achieved. In the end, vacations came and we traveled a lot, but that's another story! Writte
