Tasks of the volunteer a short decision of what you did (500 characters). You did a lot of things
but this is what will appear on the certificate, so it is best if you highlight(put an accent on) the thing that
you want.
During my period as a volunteer I was working in one high school and one primary school, in a little
town in the south of Romania (Filiasi). The project that I carried on was focus on a multicultural
exchange, for that reason, the activities were related to know better the Romanian culture and for the
students to learn more about Spain, Lithuania and Italy. To achieve that objective, the activities were
focus in cultural aspects, like arts, traditions language courses,etc. Apart of this I did a course to learn
Romanian twice per week to be more adaptable to the Romanian culture.
Key competences
During my period in Romania I had the chance to practice my mother tongue (Spanish)
because I lived with one Spanish volunteer and with another volunteers from my
country. This help me a lot to learn more about the different dialects that we have in
Spain and to learn new vocabulary that is specific from some places in Spain. Apart of
this, I have the chance to work in Spanish courses with the students, so was interesting
to teach them Spanish, because I prepared my vocabulary to teach them the correct
grammar and the correct way to talk Spanish.
I improve my English, because I was in another country, and the rest of the volunteers
that I worked with where from different countries and English was the common
language. Apart of this I learned a base of basic Italian, because I was interested on
Italian language (I lived with one volunteer from Italy) and Romanian, because I was in
Romania and also we needed to work in the schools and also we received romanian
lessons.
4. Learning to learn
Living in different country you learn a lot, in my case, observing how the Romanian
culture works and also talking with other volunteers from different countries that
help you to learn some different points of view and to be more open-minded.
I lived in a little city in the south of Romania and when I arrived I learned a lot about
the Romanian culture to adapt to the village and feel more comfortable in the city. To do
that you need to be open-minded and observe a lot. For that reason when I interacted
with someone from the town I tried to respect their culture and to be the most closed as
possible to their culture.
6. Civic competence
This competence I started to develop before coming here, because when you decided
that you want to do an EVS you are using your initiative. Also here when I decided the
activities or how to work on the centers I used my initiative, and travelling around
Romania.
As I said, the activities that we did on the school and high school were all focus on
culture and we showed to the students different topics of our cultures and I really liked
how they were surprised in some aspects and that helped me a lot to grow up as a
person.
